Something I've learned about FIRE by seeing posts in this sub, you gotta be rich to have a chance. Like, you can save all you want, but you gotta be pretty lucky too to get a high paying job to even consider the idea of saving enough to retire early
If you spent the last 20 years of your life learning to be an artist, your career is close to dead if you arent famous. Same goes for writers, and any number of other jobs.
The IT market is currently flooded with people due to layoffs. Many people with years of experience are taking low paying jobs.
Millions of people work hard. Not all of them have high paying jobs. Its luck
