How did you first hear about FI/RE?
Why do you want to reach Financial Independence/Retire Early?
My biggest reason why I want to achieve FI/RE is I want to become work optional! I love working, but I want to be able to do it on my terms.
What does FI/RE mean to you?
To me, FI/RE is such a huge opportunity. If I can hit it when I plan to (late 30s) I'd become work optional and by then hopefully have a family of my own too. I would be able to determine when, where, and if I worked which is the ultimate freedom. I don't mind the 9-5 life, but it is a grind!
What is your % savings rate?
60%+
Are you doing anything to achieve FI/RE faster? If yes, what?
I keep my expenses very low and I invest heavily. I also started a side hustle to bring in extra income.
Any advice you'd give to someone who has a similar FI/RE lifestyle as you, especially if it seemed hard or unattainable?
My advice is to set strategic goals! So many people don't know why they want to do things or by when. But when you give yourself strategic and realistic goals, you are more inclined to hit them and pivot when needed.
