Anyone here FIREd without a side gig? Most FIREd PF personalities we know and love have income from these side endeavors, whether it's real estate or blogging income. We don't really plan on having any of that, just our portfolio. Does anyone here actually rely on 4% of their portfolio as their only source of income and live a life of total leisure, void of any paid work? How is it panning out so far?
Disclaimer, I don't plan to sit on my ass and do nothing after I stop working, but I won't be looking to do anymore paid work. I'm thinking hiking, sailing, snowboarding, reading, traveling, volunteering, actually having all the laundry done and clean house, spending time with my partner and kids, etc. Also, acknowledging that the PF personalities are such due to side endeavors which make them visible. I get that and that's why I am asking the less visible folks of this forum.
If this has already been asked my unfruitful attempts at searching this forum missed it, please post a link!
