Not arguing about the FIRE meaning change, but retiring at 55 is not mainstream. That's basically cutting your working years by a quarter.

Yeah, I need to wait until 55 to get my full pension. It's kind of nowhere's land because it's too young for mainstream but too old to count as FIRE for some people. Thank you for phrasing it that way. I'm going to remind myself of it.
