I’ve been lurking in this page for a while for my own ambitions, however I’d just like to share the importance of FIRE after a recent ordeal.

My dad recently passed away at 68yo (essentially 2 years into typical retirement age) Luckily (if you can even say that), he was the managing director of his business and decided to FIRE at the age of 51 to sit back and enjoy life - houses, boats, the outdoors, holidays, you name it. He said if he could do it again he would have retired at 41!

I’m always unsure about stashing so much away into a pension as you never know what’s round the corner so why not enjoy it now and spend it? But on the other hand, stick to the FIRE plan and ensure you’re not spending your life working until death.
