Yep, my wife and I are growing into this mindset. We both generally enjoy our careers and doing something meaningful, but we're focused on getting to the point where working is only for the "fun" things in life.

- dougmwne 5y agoIn my case, dinks. And aside from the basics of budgeting, I think there's a huge difference in mindset that would make it difficult to FIRE with kids. You are making a decision to reduce your children's opportunities because you don't want to keep struggling. It's much easier to decide for yourself when enough lifestyle is enough, but much harder to decide that music lessons or language exchange trips or a college fund or a generous baby shower gift are not needed for the kiddo.
