Not yet, but I can't see my life behind a computer forever so I'm leaning into car maintenance or agriculture.
But those are all FIRE-like activities, I don't see any realistic way to maintain my income in another field unless I go into extremes.
- neodypsis 3y agoWhat do you mean by "FIRE-like activities"?

- red-iron-pine 3y agoFIRE is retiring early and cashing out. Often achievable for a lot of STEM types, esp. those with access to FAANG tier salaries. Hit the $1.4 million mark, which has a safe draw of like 35-40k a year without lowering principle, and then chill. Chill doesn't imply not working, just working on your terms, and a part-time job as a mechanic might be unsustainable normally, but with a FIRE background you could make it work.
