A Redditor has achieved a financial milestone by doubling their initial FIRE goal but faces the dilemma of either accepting a dream job or retiring to spend time with family. This fortunate situation raises questions about personal fulfillment and potential regret. Although the Redditor is in a strong financial position, the decision is complicated by the weighing of advantages and disadvantages of each choice. Ultimately, they must navigate this decision carefully, considering both the joy of a fulfilling job and the desire for family time.
It's hard to accept the reality in the FIRE world that there have to be trade-offs from time to time between financial and work fulfillment.
For a Redditor posting in r/fatFIRE, they have the good luck of already being in a great financial position, but are stuck between leaving the workforce now or accepting a dream job.
Under normal circumstances, this would have been fantastic news for someone who should be planning to walk away from the workforce for good.
Instead, they are trying to look at this from two perspectives, and each perspective has its advantages and disadvantages.
