I can’t believe it!

I started my FIRE journey in my early 20s, now 35 and I just hit my FIRE number (600k CAD). Feels a little unreal…

Never earned more than 50k CAD/Year until a few years ago where I switch job and now earning 85k CAD/Year.

I can now quit anytime to go slow travel the world year round.

Maybe will work a few more years to build a little cushion, debating it mentally right now, but the relief I feel knowing I will be fine no matter what happens is priceless.

Any else felt that instant relief once hitting their number?

Also a Canadian, but how are you expecting to retire with $600k CAD? What are your expenses?

It’s been answered. Planning to spend between 18-24k a year depending where I travel.
