Only 10M+ lentils currently, living in fear and wife says we need to keep stacking lentils vs spending more time with kids and terminally ill family member. Burnout doesn’t pay the bills.

VHCOL, FAANG, deep domain AI, SAAS. SENIOR IC etc.

I identify as a HENRY…no job and a networth of 2.8m lentils

Hear me out. If you do a large violent crime and get sentenced to prison (forever) then your expenses are basically zero forever and your portfolio can grow unimpeded without your life ever getting in the way.

Started dating this guy who is 60. I’m in my early 30s. He taught me all about FIRE. Said we can just stay home and save more money that way even though he used to travel all around the world. No need for fancy dinners when we have perfectly good lentils at home: Anyways, I’m so excited to spend my life this way! Can’t believe I got so lucky. Wow

Mid 30s, about 1k Karma. If I invest the Karma in VOO, can I retire from Reddit and never have to come here again? Is it enough? Would love to spend more time with my wife and kids

I spend the last 20 years being stingy so I can finally FIRE, and now I need to spend the rest 40 years of my life being stingy so the money doesn't run out.

The other day I saw a hooded and masked man sweeping products off a shelf in the supermarket into a bag then run out the door without paying.

I was in awe of his bold money-saving tactics- instead of shopping around for a deal on your groceries, just dont pay! Genius

He’s probably ploughing 1k a month extra straight into low cost index funds.

Is this trend of StealFIRE or KleptoFIRE picking up where you live?

Seems like plenty of options to save on big items like your car by getting them for free too, avoiding costly borrowing options.

My only concern is apparently there is some technicalities around taking stuff without paying to watch out for, and you could go to prison, but even then your living costs are zero and you typically still have internet access to manage your portfolio… OMG PrisonFIRE!

I'm the American multinational conglomerate 3M. Can I retire? Here's my balance sheet

• Total Assets: $37.73 billion
• Total Liabilities: $32.99 billion
• Total Equity: $4.75 billion
• Total Debt: $12.60 billion
• Working Capital: $6.79 billion

I've been working for like a hundred years.

This FIRE hack is a win/win for the FIRE lifestyle.

It's old fashion wisdom that kids need a plate full of food in the morning.

Pack their backpack with snacks so they eat about 90 minutes after class starts on the break.

Their minds will be sharp to learn. The school lunch is only $2.75 and then a hearty healthy dinner.

You will save about $15,000 per kid.

Pumping kids full of sugary cereal, muffins, and carbs is the worse thing for them. They bounce off the walls.

Our daughter has the highest marks from the physicians office and the highest ratings from her teachers every grade. They pull her out for gifted Pace classes.

You are not starving them. You are enhancing them. A household with four kids would be $60,000 towards FIRE

1 year old male here, ready to start my CoastFIRE journey. I come from a big family who gave a total $2000 gift at my baptism party. Planning to coast now without touching the principle, in a diversified index fund it will be worth $1 million by the time I am 65.

Has anyone else tried being a barista for 60+ years to FIRE and avoid having to work? I'd love to hear your feedback.

Yahoo finance is now publishing articles based on absurd reddit posts. Hard to tell whether they're trolling or being trolled.

Edit: Holy shit there's a second article also published today: I’m in my late 40s and I’m bored of work. Can I walk away with a net worth of $15 million?

LOL they must just have an AI bot reading r/fatFIRE and churning out this garbage.

Made this at work today. Most inefficient way to use Astra but it’s funny.

I’ve always wanted to be rich, but there is a thing that I’m dumb and that’s irrefutable:)

Private Vet for Household

I am Chief of Staff to a private family looking to hire a full-time veterinarian to care for their pets. The family lives in the US and travels overseas often. This person would join the household staff, travel with the family, and own all health and wellness + travel readiness for the pets, including health records, country entry requirements, and international health certificates.

The ideal candidate is USDA-accredited and experienced with international pet travel. Discretion and strong values are essential. Does anyone have recommendations about where to find one?

Many Western governments are creaking under the weight of their debt, future pension liabilities, and other social security provisions for retirees.

Solution: mandatory military service at retirement age in order to recieve your state pension!

By sending the elderly into pointless missions in the worlds most dangerous warzones, a significant share of national liabilities could be erased, as fewer retirees come home.

Meanwhile younger generations, finally free from the scourge of war, will happily work, save, invest and start families, boosting the economy for everyone, and helping shrink debt vs GDP ratios.
