I'm more excited about the FIRE crowd showing how they can retire from a relatively high-paying corporate job at 35 by living like misers and making 12% yearly on their SPY holdings...as if the last 12 years haven't been a raging bull and as if we're not still near the top of 40+ year old bull cycles in stocks/bonds that won't last forever.

Fitting that so many of these stories talk in percentage terms since it occurred to me, I wonder how many of these stories are .... ummm "stories"?
I think it works when we have only one life to live. Based on their, ideology, yet, if it's more than that, then it is not going to work.
