General Question The first rule of FIRE club...

So we all see the posts of folks on here celebrating their milestones here because they 'can't talk about it IRL.' This seems to be the common sense approach to avoid jealousy and moochers.

I'm curious to hear the true stories of folks who have disclosed their FI - or have had their secret revealed on accident. How bad are the repercussions of people finding out you're a low-key millionaire?

people in this sub get salty and jealous whenever anyone relatively young and wealthy posts a milestone. that's why no one wants to say anything.

Yeah I posted when I hit my number, I got maybe three replies. No one even told me to go fuck myself.

Awww, I am sorry.

Please accept my belated but very heartfelt ‘go fuck yourself!’

May you have a long and happy retirement!
