The article discusses a Redditor who achieved financial freedom by selling his business for $22 million CAD. However, his plans for a stable retirement with his wife and children are disrupted when his wife unexpectedly files for divorce, and they had no prenup. This situation puts his financial goals at risk, despite the substantial amount he could retain post-divorce. He may still have about $11 million CAD left, allowing him to potentially adhere to the 3% withdrawal rule, which offers a yearly income sufficient for most people's retirement.
Reaching financial freedom earlier than most often involves advanced income careers or successful businesses, as demonstrated by a Redditor who sold his business for $22 million CAD.
Now facing an unexpected divorce and lacking a prenup, the Redditor's financial future and FIRE goals are uncertain despite having a significant nest egg.
Comments from the Fat FIRE subreddit show sympathy but highlight that even after a potential split, he may walk away with about $11 million CAD.
With an estimated $225k USD yearly income following the 3% withdrawal rule, the Redditor still holds potential for financial stability after the divorce.
