Travelling is overrated. People influenced by instagram videos are mostly color graded to make it look really cool.

Travelling is not for everyone and mostly a tiring process. The videos we watch makes it look very easy.

I agree to some extent . Now i feel like going to places away from people, that too for a while , just for few day break. foreign vacation seems like waste of money, when we have a lot here in india.

ANYWAYS IT'S A Personal choice...

could you please tell us a bit about how you gained a corpus of 7cr till now ?

FIRE is the corporate equivalent of every kid's dream of becoming a fighter pilot.
For 99% of salaried employees it will never happen. It will happen at 58 or at 50 when they fire them and they cannot find an equivalent job.

Surprised the low numbers being presented here. Sustaining a lifestyle with a corpus which lasts for a larger period of non earning years is very very costly. My calculations for retiring at 55 itself requires 14crs for 25 more yrs.

Care to share why you think it would take 14cr?

I don’t plan on retiring early specifically. But the goal is to make as much as 15Cr and then can pursue purely passion projects.

I think I’ll achieve this by 45. I’ll build that networth through ESOPs (I know 🤡)

Na, it makes sense. ESOPs in a good business which you helped build esp. if you had joined in when they were at the 50-100cr revenue range will get you your FIRE funds fast.

And this is even better if its a business in the so called boring fields like ITES and/or component manufacturing.

Because these firms start paying out dividends by the time they get to 500cr -1000cr which can happen in 5-10 years with a decent business plan.

So not only does your net worth increase you get goos dividends as well.

All of the above is my personal experience and basically my plan for FIRE.

Makes a lot of sense!

But traditional companies: how will you get in such a business early and have enough stake? Especially given I may not have experience expertise or connections

I’ve always thought of startups in this context

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 j...
