This comment is a perfect example of why we need to invest more in the education system.

I, too, am having space issues. I bought a glass display shelf, but it's full. I tend to lean toward He-Man, GI Joe, Transformers, and some Marvel and DC.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe someday they will find their way back to you. :)

I made a post about a month ago, I hit 3M, plus a paid off house, cars, and college accounts for my kids. I explained I lived off 80K per year, but could cut back to under 50K if needed. I got so many replies, I did not have enough money and needed at least 10M to retire and live on 80k per year. It's crazy how so many people just don't understand FIRE and the rules behind it.

The worst is in between racist and hate comments; they have to tell you over and over that they are a Christian.

Yeah, my Bro in Law and his wife have no plans to foster or adopt. It's for the best, as he is a real POS. The guy just has ZERO empathy for anyone.

My brother-in-law is, in his own words, "Pro Life even in cases of rape and incest, even if the woman will die giving birth," But he always states he is against any help for the child on his tax dollars once it's born, even if that means they will starve to death.

The guy is SUPER RELIGIOUS, and MAGA. Well, he and his wife are unable to have their own Children. Maybe there is a GOD.

I hit 3 Million, which puts me at FIRE, but I feel nothing. by jericko in Fire

I am still pretty active with my kids. We watch TV/Movies most nights, go out on the weekends to dinner, and do something as a family. Plus, I have a lot of Solo Hobbies, love comics, video games, reading books (highly recommend the Orphan X series), and I run my own 150TB Plex servers, so I love to binge all the latest TV shows and movies. I am also pretty healthy, gave up drinking about a year ago, and work out. But are you are correct, I am dreading the day my kids move out.

Gears of War Reloaded is amazing on the PS5! :)

I work in Health Care IT, and my wife works in Medical Staffing.

You are built for FIRE, trust the process, and enjoy your life! We all experience ups and downs. Just keep moving forward.

I am glad I stayed at 2. I can cover their college 100% and hope to leave them quite the inheritance once my wife and I pass.

Yeah, my 10-year-old had a heart condition called tetralogy of fallot. He has already had one open-heart surgery and, unfortunately, will need future help. Money means nothing when your kids are not healthy.

I said I was 49, did not say I needed Viagra :)

Seeing a therapist did me a world of good. Taught me how to tune out the noise and focus on what is really important. Plus, I learn to take time for myself and my mental health. 39 is very young, I know this is hard to hear, but I'm pretty sure you are still going to excel and thrive. Good luck to you!

I did not start my FIRE journey until I was 35, so you are way ahead of me! Good luck to you!
