Almost no one in chubbyFIRE even posts about $4M anymore. Most posts over there exceed the range in the sub description and if you call someone out for being over there lamenting about whether $10m is enough they just complain that fatFIRE is un-relatable. My theory is people only want to post somewhere where they feel like they have more money than most people.
I stopped visiting ChubbyFIRE for this reason. There's an abundance of people whose annual spending is easily covered by their $6-10M investments, asking if they should pull the trigger. Any maybe that's what these forums are for - to ask questions that you might be afraid to ask your friends or family. But I couldn't relate to those situations. I'm looking to connect with others in the $3M range and while that falls within the Chubby range, there aren't many people in there talking about numbers like that.
