Like many people on here I've got a spreadsheet planning forward my potential FIRE date. I don't really like my job so the sooner I can quit the better.
I've been thinking about how to save more money, but then in struck me, why am I in a job I don't enjoy? Also isn't the best way I can retire earlier (assuming I'm being thrifty already) to earn more money in my primary job.
So anyway I went out into the job market and within 6 weeks had several final interview with new companies, I accepted a new job offer this week, salary increase by £13k a year, much better bonus etc AND they said I can work from home on Mondays and Fridays.
I've already updated my spreadsheets with my new income and I can potentially retire 2 years earlier!
It's also made me think about my career ambition within the few years I have left until I FIRE, I've found I have increasing confidence the more FI I have.
Anyway, everyone on here is such an inspiration to me I thought I'd share this!
