Fun
I didn't specifically go anywhere for fun, but my weekdays were spent going to workshops and conferences, keeping myself up to date in my technical field.Exercise
On the fitness side, I definitely walked more than in my previous desk-bound job.

Onwards to the fourth month of FIRE!!
I stopped work for 9 months for my family. Totally worth it. I am also in my early 40s with 2 kids. Have fun "Firing".
ReplyDeleteThanks for your positive words!
DeleteI am on the crossroad whether to decide to go f.i.r.e, just do not dare to cross the line, financially is ready. not scare of losing out, but rather disconnect from the society and get boring with nothing on my mind. been working hard for 27 years and some years with double jobs.
ReplyDeleteHave you heard of Barista FIRE? In this type of FIRE, you achieved FI, but still work part-time jobs. On the other hand, do you have any goal you want to accomplish after you FIRE? If not, then maybe keep yourself busy by working and contribute to society also meaningful way to pass time :)
