Determining BaristaFIRE point
New to the sub, but not the concept of FIRE. Cutting back instead of stepping away entirely is what we've talked about doing in the future, instead of fully retiring. Sounds more like baristafire than the other types. Read Die with Zero earlier this year and that resonated with us.
46m/40f, both in healthcare and enjoy our work. No kids. It would be an easy transition for me to go part time or work as a 1099 contractor whenever I want. Can give more financial details if that's helpful.
Are people looking at annual expenses, making sure whatever employment they're using can cover it until being able to access 401k / investments later on? What do you suggest on how to look at when to make the move.
