FIRE is just glamorous word for  be fugal and invest wisely. How many can give up the YOLO lifestyle and be frugal? To be frugal need discipline and dedication.

FIRE is not for everyone as suffering for like 20 years to retire earlier might not be for everyone. The principles are great, but it should be everyone personal decision on the balance they want to achieve.

Also working towards FIRE here. Current saving about 60% of monthly salary plus all of my passive income which is about 25% of salary.

My lifestyle is really boring to a lot of people though.

I am glad that there are Msian blogs/forum on FIRE.

I am currently working in SG and intends to achieve FIRE before 40 and enjoy life in Ipoh.
I am saving about 42% of my current take home pay and currently taking part-time tuition jobs.

I have been living like a monk, most of the time staying at home smile.gif

If you're living like a monk and and intend to retire in Ipoh at 40 should be very easy. Keep it up

Seems like alot of you guys in this thread are much older. So I have a question to seek out your experiences.

Say you had in today's terms a modest figure of RM2mil worth of assets and 2 kids who are already adult and working. (RM2m is net asset position) You are at the age of 50.

What would be your ideal asset mix of that RM2m?

Just wanna hear your opinions as well, cause ive been hearing so many opinions im starting to think some of them are bias smile.gif

What would be your expected expenses per year? The the targeted asset mix would depend a lot on that.
