| An attempt at the FIRE flow chart Posted: 14 Oct 2019 07:15 AM PDT Last week, I was playing around with the idea of making a flow chart that would be more in tuned with the FI community. I wanted to improve the /r/personalfinance flow chart on some aspects and have the FI flow chart go all the way down to the withdrawal have a continuation into the withdrawal strategy, but to be honest, I have not read enough to finish the flow chart. I thought I would ask for help from the community. I currently have version 1.3 and would be open to any suggestions and improvements. Near the end of version 1.2's flow chart, I have begun to think that the accumulation (boring middle) phase would be its own flow chart while the withdrawal phase would be another flow chart. Thoughts? Edit 1: I tried to capture as much as I could and updated it in Version 2.0. I'm sorry for those on mobile, I'm not sure which link I should be doing to best see on mobile. I also like the fact that the HSA is before the IRA as some FI commentors mentioned. I also added the beginning of the personal finance flow chart to make it a more complete picture with different interest rates embedded in the flow chart. Please keep in mind that I'm doing this during my lunch break so there may be some mistakes here and there. Edit 2: I think I found out how to link directly to the image for mobile users. Version 2.0. [link] [comments]  |

| Looking for Not-yet-FIRE Blogs Posted: 14 Oct 2019 01:31 PM PDT Hey everyone, are there any Blogs out there that are authored by folks who are not yet FI? I'm interested to see if there are any people who are writing about their journey from the pre-FI perspective. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| What was your "That One Big Splurge" fantasy and how did you stave off the temptation? Posted: 14 Oct 2019 12:54 PM PDT tl;dr title Complete beginner here and have no clue what I'm doing. Started my first job out of college a few months ago. No debt. Credit in the 660-690 region. Income is 107k annual base (tech industry). High CoL area. My goal is fatFI with a possible RE in which I try my hand at Teaching or Entrepreneurship. NW is maybe just south of 10k. Everyone's got that one unnecessary item that they want to buy that would set back their FIRE plans. For me, it's a Tesla Model X. I've driven one before and absolutely LOVED it. I'm a fairly tall dude so the size is perfect for me. I'm also a big fan of the idea of fully automated electric vehicles and sustainable energy. Luckily, I know I don't have enough for it right now, but given my occupation saving up for a cash purchase of a used, base-level, older model wouldn't be too hard (<5 years or so) if I also trade in my current car. I've been holding off the temptation of buying via loan or leasing by putting more money into my savings account. But I am only a weak man. What have been your "Big Splurge" fantasies and how did you defeat them? [link] [comments]  |
| Continuing to work after reaching FI. Posted: 14 Oct 2019 11:56 AM PDT I've been FI for over a year and I'm starting to lose my mind. It's not bad, and it isn't every day, but week to week my motivation at work seems to get less and less. An incredibly low stress career is becoming more stressful because of how boring it is. I feel like I can't enjoy my time off because I have to go back to the same thing. I can't quit working yet because of some personal reasons. Has anyone else gone through this? Any advice on motivation after FI? [link] [comments]  |
