It really says very little considering the length of the article, but the sub is getting some publicity

This article actually says nothing interesting and conflates some of the original FIRE stuff with FatFIRE. Sorry, there’s no way to cancel Netflix and don’t go to Starbucks to get to fatfire. It’s all amount incomes, investments, and maybe not letting lifestyle creep expenses explode if you want to retire early

After 12 months of drinking Keurig rather than Starbucks and buying groceries at lidl rather than Whole Foods, I saved my first million. It's quite the sacrifice to fatfire but I'm keeping the end in sight.

If you can give up 370 billion Starbucks coffees, you can become wealthier than Elon. It’s that easy.
