curious to know how many low income savers are in the community vs typical FIRE jobs like software engineers
I’m in financial analysis also have my CPA.
Don’t earn as much as SWE but not bad. Six fig in a VHCOL area though.
The second one. :P Going for FatFIRE.
Definitely not a low income saver. I’m a tech manager in the trading industry. Basically a SWE with more responsibilities.
My wife is a licensed professional counselor (therapist) in private practice. $160k/yr. I’m a SAHD. We’re in our mid-30’s.
Corporate accountant - got my CPA, so that helped accelerate my career
I retired last year at age 49. I was a lab tech, and I earned about 70k.
I’m a mechanical engineer in a VLCOL area, I make ~80k, but manage a 60% SR very comfortably.
i feel like lemmy specifically is going to be even more engineer focused than reddit’s FIRE community
I’m the information security officer and head of technical operations for an insuretech startup.
Great work and six-figure pay but nowhere near where I need to be to reach comfortable early retirement.
Production Operator in a manufacturing plant. I make less than 100k a year. Slowly but steady i see all my investments growing
Software Engineer here - also curious. Let me see if my reply can perform a little necromancy :D
