curious to know how many low income savers are in the community vs typical FIRE jobs like software engineers
The second one. :P Going for FatFIRE.
I’m in financial analysis also have my CPA.
Don’t earn as much as SWE but not bad. Six fig in a VHCOL area though.
Definitely not a low income saver. I’m a tech manager in the trading industry. Basically a SWE with more responsibilities.
My wife is a licensed professional counselor (therapist) in private practice. $160k/yr. I’m a SAHD. We’re in our mid-30’s.
Corporate accountant - got my CPA, so that helped accelerate my career
I’m a mechanical engineer in a VLCOL area, I make ~80k, but manage a 60% SR very comfortably.
I retired last year at age 49. I was a lab tech, and I earned about 70k.
i feel like lemmy specifically is going to be even more engineer focused than reddit’s FIRE community
Software Engineer here - also curious. Let me see if my reply can perform a little necromancy :D
Production Operator in a manufacturing plant. I make less than 100k a year. Slowly but steady i see all my investments growing
I’m the information security officer and head of technical operations for an insuretech startup.
Great work and six-figure pay but nowhere near where I need to be to reach comfortable early retirement.
