Struggling with the point of PovertyFIRE
Post Body

If your expenses are low, why not just work an easy part-time job?

For example, if you're able to live off $10,000 a year, you could either invest $250,000 using the SWR, which for most people would take years (or more likely a decade or more), or you could work one $16 an hour, 12 hour security guard shift where you sit around playing computers games and listening to podcast (these types of jobs are more common than you would think).

If you wanted to be semi-financially independent, you could just have a couple years of expenses saved up in an emergency fund, in case something happens or you want a break (from the one shift a week lol).

Knowing this, why are you trying to povertyFIRE? All of the effort seems misguided, in my opinion.
