I'm FI but not RE. Goal is $3M in investable assets. I felt FI at $1.5M but wanted a buffer and one more year syndrome continues to be the norm. I still question if I'll tap out once my goal is reached in 2-3 yrs as I know I'm at the peak of my career and know I can significantly help my child out by making their life easier by me working another year or two. I keep moving the goal post.
I've always been a saver and denounced rampant consumerism. Will power to not spend has come easy. I live a very comfortable life and don't need a Mercedes/Tesla in the driveway or a Rolly on my wrist. I don't need a Euro vacation or a stay in the 4Seasons. I'm happy to pick up last years model for half price and enjoy my campground vacations exploring a canyon or string of Alpine Lakes. My all inclusive annual Caribbean vacations are worth the splurge.
I look forwrd to the next chpter of my life, one that does not revolve round alarm clocks and presentations to C-Levels.
