A lot of thoughtful discussion on this post. Here’s a few follow-up thoughts:
Not every person trying to retire early is giving up on experiences, I understand that. Some people are doing a balanced version of FIRE.
While true, there is a large community of people who are actively delaying important parts of life in the pursuit of some financial goal being met. There are Reddit communities dedicated to people who basically work all the time and give no thought or energy to anything else in hopes of escaping the 9-5 early.
This is misguided. First - you have your entire life to make money, but you do not have your entire life to form a family.
Woman move into high-risk pregnancy when they are 35 or older, it’s called advanced maternal age. Which simply means that their pregnancies are at higher risk of developmental issues. You may also be surprised to learn that the age of men matters, and after 40 years old there is a gradual increase in the baseline risk of developmental issues in pregnancy.
In both cases time is not on your side to form a family. Risk factors increase with age, and over time the opportunity completely disappears for many people.
On top of that being a young parent is extremely fun. I had my first kid when I was 25and making $45k/yr. That boy has literally been one of the most amazing parts of my life.
You get to chill with a baby sleeping on your chest as you watch TV. You get to see them grow and teach them how to ride a bike, skate board, teach them out to read. I have stayed up all night playing Xbox with him and watching movies. Now he’s 11. We have tickets booked to see the third Dune in iMax. After mom puts him to bed I frequently sneak into his room and watch YouTube videos with him. Now I have 3 kids, one on the way. And it’s literally my favorite part of life.
I only say this because I believe there’s a culture now that is somewhat bizarrely against forming families, and super focused on self-success, making money, and eating the perfect diet. You have podcast guys in their 50s that are single, childless, giving life advice to millions of people every day.
I’m not saying everyone has to do this, and I have no judgement for you if you decide differently. If your life goal is just to work hard and make a bunch of money so you can live an easy life, that’s fine. That’s your decision. But keep in mind that you have your entire life to earn money, you do not have your entire life to create a family.

FIRE is terrible. Don’t waste your 20s and 30s saving every single penny and never having any experiences. Foster relationships now. Go out on dates. Go on road trips and camp outs. Try out a cruise, you may even enjoy it. Go have experiences with friends. My oldest brother that I talk to frequently is a surgeon, believe me, there are no guarantees in life. You have no clue how your health will hold up over time. It’s crazy to me that a group of people will throw away their 20s and 30s in hope that there’s some magical happy point in their 40s. It’s very misguided.

@blury765 Dann hast du deine Antwort ja. Wenn du zwei Gewinner hast, die du aber gerne weiterlaufen lassen würdest, warum dann umschichten? Nervöse Finger sind imo keine Lösung im aktuellen Marktumfeld. Keine Anlageberatung

I honestly find it hilarious here in Germany how many people have stickers like this on their Teslas
"I bought this before Elon went crazy"
Elon was always crazy, that is why you are driving his car in Germany, even though everyone told him it would not work, and he never gave up.
I saw someone who had "F Elon" on his new Model Y. So you hate Elon so much, but you know his cars are the best cars to buy in Germany? That to me is crazy.
So if everyone is crazy, and these people all call Elon crazy... Maybe it is not Elon that is the problem or the crazy one?
Germans are not thankful enough for Elon 💔
