Thank you for your introduction. It made my realize something. I was in quite a crazy bubble. I read about FIRE a lot the past 2 years. I m currently 33 and plan to (be able to) retire by the age of 40-45. most people in blogs about that subject seem to retire between the age of 28 to 40.

When you mentioned your age of 47, my first thought was: is that still considered early retirement? 😅

I take it you are on a very good path, considering you also got real estate.

I think the most important thing for you is to decide what to do with your free time soon! That might be your biggest concern soon.

@KevinC hahaha, good point, retiring at 50 is probably not #fire .
Personal circumstances made things taking a little longer, but I am not complaining... Retirement at 50 gives me at least 15 more happy years than most people... I take that as a win. 😁

@antifreund oh, i think it definitely is still very ealy and a huge personal benefit. 15 years (in Germany even 67 years will be the „normal“ time to retire soon) of personal freedom ist a lot. I dont think there is a „perfect“ time to retire anyway. Some just want to leave work asap, others prefer a more meaningful life / job until RE. Some continue working even though they dont have to any more. I think even having all possibilities before the age of 60 is very good.
