I don't know whether the majority of these Gen Z folks will reach their FIRE goal, but I think the fact that they're thinking of FIRE is a good thing in and of itself. It's a welcome change from the insane hustle culture of the last 15 years, and that they want to live simply and pursue higher meaning and purpose in their lives is great. How many enterprise SaaS apps does the world need? Having lived and worked in Silicon Valley for 20+ years, I think I have seen them all. More power to these folks!

"Pursue higher meaning and purpose" is still striving, basically a different face of the hustle culture you speak of. I'm already FIRE, but I basically putter around most days. I don't think there's any particular higher meaning or purpose that makes sense for me to chase.
