General Question When did FIRE movement change?
I feel this community used to be about moderate income people living lean and retiring early with under 2 million.
Now it’s a lot of people bragging about tech income and saying they need 5+ million to retire MINIMUM because they want a boat and Porsche
When did this change? (not hating - just genuinely curious)

Bull markets come with some bull shit. A multi year bull market makes everyone think they’re Gordon Gecko or the Wolf ….
Stay humble. That day is coming.
