I should add something, as a response to someone’s observation: the marriage ending isn’t what has caused me to increase my FIRE date (we’ve agreed to exit with everything we came in with and we kept things separate for the marriage except joint expenses split 50/50), no, it was the Suze Orman discussion that occurred here. I think she’s a hater too, but, I’ll be honest, that thread scared the crap out of me and made me think. Currently I have the perfect job that pays me an incredible sum and I know the company, the politics, I’m master of my domain and I’m making an impact. I feel I’m too old to leave and start at a new company as the new guy and do this shit all over, especially as I’m looking to get out. So, save for something tragic, this is my last job with an employer who isn’t me. And if that’s the case and I’m making great money, shouldn’t I eke out a couple more years to give myself that “just in case” padding? Keep in mind, I’m coming to this late and when I’m done, I wanna be done. Maybe some fun side hustle stuff I can do for 5 hours a week from anywhere in the world, but nothing major. And I don’t dread work enough to rush out the door tomorrow and I live in near perfect city. If I stay 6 years I’ll get a nice little bonus from work and it will be a good time to say that’s it. That’ll still have me properly retired a good 10-15 years before 90% of my peers and set me up for the rest of my life. And, as I said, if anything changes, I should be ok with just 3-4 more years working. So it’s all good except when I think: oh since, I’m working for 6 more years I can afford to be indulgent more now. No! Stop that thinking!!!
