Finfluencers and their fuc*ed up logics

Ask those influncers whats will you do with your life after FIRE. Assuming target completed at 35yrs of age then what? And even after that what will you do with the money. Keep in bank or stocks to be passed on to "no one" after you or just maybe taken up by banks and govt and home taken up by land encrochers. Life is not at end after FIRE. FI is good so you can protect your family but when you "killed" your family tree itself to achieve FIRE what did you acheive ,for whom, for what? Good for show offs maybe but internet fame is limited till there only no one is there for you on ground. Empty 4 walled rooms being cat/dog "moms" all have been already experimented in west and now being tried to replicate here. They want us to stay poor by selling us the lifestyle they are living though the money they got by selling the courses. The logic they applied maybe worked at that time but does it guarantee the same logic will work in next 10 yrs and if thats true why not they themself buy all those assets with all that money will get 100 bagger in next 10 yrs themselves. I can continue the same with their rent vs buying home logic but maybe keep it up for another day.

Stop taking finfluencers seriously. Majority of them don't even follow whatever they preach.

Having FIRE as a goal isn't bad but advising people to not buy house or have kids because it might be bad "financially" is just plain absurd. Some decisions in life are above money and finances.

Being the last person to carry your family genes. Basically not procreating and adopting cats/dogs to fill that void.

FIRE started in USA long back, it's main idea was,work your ass off, achieve FI and then work on things you are passionate about, RE means not to completely retire but to work on things your heart says yes and work only hours till your body says yes.
