I did it guys. I'm free..

My low impact lifestyle enables me to travel whenever I want and do whatever the fuck I like.

I still run a small side hustle reselling on the side. Don't need the money just habit and a hobby.

Who owns the land? Sure you will inherit it and your family wont sell it like stupid boomers?

I see a lot of posts like, I earn 100K a month and can't afford to buy a house.

I'm just providing inspiration for others to turn their back on slavery.

Yeah I'm lucky to have family land I can live on, but there's similar ways for others to do what I'm doing.

Who made you the boss of biz/?

I'm not gonna lie OP, I try to reach fire aswell and around 800k would be my minimum also but your life still sounds kinda miserable. I don't mean to be an asshole, I genuinely wonder if you live a happy life now? Is this what you imagined your life to be at 40+ when you were 20?
I'm 28 and far away from my 800k minimum goal since the crypto crash and all and my job fucking sucks and pays bad, however I'm confident I will reach my goal eventually. But it seems worthless without real joy in life, a partner, adventure, whatever.. so how are you actually doing op?

Also: Whats that passve income you live off? Divident etfs or what? If so which ones? 750k isn't that much money afterall to live off till the end of times

The thing is, all my peers are miserable as fuck.

Annoying expensive kids, a wife they can no longer be in the same room as without wanting to kill her.

I'm happy, that's the goal whatever circumstance you're in.

I have a good social life, the only problem with it is; listening to my friends complain about how much they hate 'living the dream'.

700K was my goal as it affords me the lifestyle I want and the capital will still grow.

We get free (but shitty) healthcare in the UK, My outgoings are almost zero.

I spend half the year in Thailand. I lived out there when I worked offshore and have a good friend group out there.

My life is great. I'm never going to get bored of doing whatever the hell I want.

My £750K will generate about 50K+ a year. A lot of that growth will get paided out in Dividends. I've always been a dividend investor.

I have wife and kid and I'm thinking hard about my life.

Not an Incel.

I can attract women, I just saw the writing on the wall. I can only attract low rent women I knew I would grow to hate, I'd be in the same position as my friends are in now.

I always had a goal of FIRE and low impact living. All the women I was involved with earlier in life were trash consumer boring droids. I never wanted to settle for the sake of it, I never felt the desparation, I'm an introvert and don't mind my own company.

Where I live its good money.

If I lived in LA or Central London then yeah, I'd be broke.

I live in Northern England and Holiday in Thailand, trust me I'm rich.

I predict I'll be a Cash Millionaire within 7 years. That's pretty rare believe it or not. A lot of people who claim to be millionaires include their fixed illiquid assets like property.

Sounds good and not miserable to me op, I can see myself relaxing on a thai beach in the future. Compared to UK winter weather it sure looks nice.
Is there anything you're striving for now that you've reached your goal? I mean being able to do whatever you want is good but I expect this state to become quite depressive eventually without something "bigger" to work on or strive for? I don't kow since I'm not there and prolly not old enough to my own perspective on that, it's just what I've read over and over again by people that consider themselves part of the fire movement pr whatever.

I did get nostalgia for the grind. I worked a waggie job in the day and as soon as I got home I'd grind at my side hustle (reselling).

FIRE was the goal and I really work hard towards it.

I'm currently enjoying doing the things I couldn't bare to do when I was on the grind.

For instance sitting down and playing a computer game was unbearable for me, I felt like I was wasting my life away and not working towards the goal.

Now I can do those things guilt free, knowing I've got my shit in order.

I couldn't bare spending money for most of my life, I knew I'd lose all that compounding.

Now all my income is labour free, I know I'm not trading my time for it, so I don't mind spending it on trash.

I get hookers all the time. If I was to buy hookers earlier in life I'd still be working a shit waggie job.

As soon as I get bored I book a flight to Thailand and month later I can't wait to get home and have a rest.

fuck man thats me since I started working 8 years ago. Nice to know there is a possibility for me to enjoy things again that I lost the spark for by suborbinating most things for the greater goal, quit being a wagie. This path feels very weird at times since no one around me gives a flying fuck about it, no one here is even thinking not slaving until you die is a possible thing you can work towards to. With setbacks like crypto and stock crashes sticking to the plan can be rough, I appreciate you explaining how/what you're doing since I don't think there are many people who actually do (what we do)
