FIRE.148 I know, I know, a Tech Bro?

I have an observation today that is far from my normal thoughts—it’s even geographically distant. I was able to take a long “schetchled” trip driving the west coast from San Francisco to Portland.  I’ll write more about that next time.  Today’s thought came about before I even arrived in San Francisco. Being a tech guy—apparently, …Read More

FIRE.141 7 Year Stretch/Review

Fritz recently posted his retirement reality vs his retirement vision and Kevin Lyles suggested some of us share our retirement reality vs retirement vision. I sat back, reached my arms up in a nice stretch and thought “hmmm, how does this all line up?) Initially, I was thinking this would be an exciting exercise comparing …Read More

FIRE.137 20 minutes until?

I haven’t really talked to many people about my strange/shocking/sad moment last week but I will here because it’s part of my LifeInFIRE. My schetchle ended up shuffling around so that I had a swim listed on Tuesday, October 5th, 2021.  I list the exact date because, well it changed a part of life for …Read More

I noticed there were …Read More

FIRE.071 WE-Day (WE-dnes-DAYs)

We decided to lock in a day of the week to make sure we do something cool together.  Maybe we’ll do something new, something totally out of the ordinary, maybe something far away, or maybe something small and normal-ish but still together. Even with so much available time in our LifeInFIRE we still find we …Read More

FIRE.053 Financially Sound

I have the hardest time telling (common) people I’m FIRE. What Do You Do? For me, in FIRE it can be very strange when someone asks you “what do you do?”  Being in your 40s, the normal answer is “profession=XYZ,  family=ABC, blah blah blah.”  In my mind, I never thought it would be strange to …Read More

FIRE.50 MMMMM Frosting

I think I’ve found something sweet in life!
Nearly every morning as I wake up I take a few moments to relax and prepare for the day. … There are many wise people that take some time each morning to meditate calming or clearing their mind, so it’s possible I’m doing this in my own way.
