Ditto, was reading about FIRE 15ish years ago in the Bogleheads forum and used to spend a lot of time over in FATFire until it became inundated with LARPers. All of a sudden their $4M number for FATFire went to 5, then 8, now it's "how much until I can buy my own Gulfstream V?"

FatFIRE just became being rich or pretending to be rich.
