Link is to an older podcast episode, and The Money Guy YouTube channel occasionally talks about FINE instead of FIRE.

Here's the definitions of each:

  • FINE - Financial Independence Next Endeavor
  • FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early

Basically, FINE focuses on what you plan to do after achieving financial independence, whereas FIRE tends to focus on cessation of working. I always called it FI (leave off the retirement part), but I suppose FINE works.

Anyway, just wondering what everyone else is planning to do once they hit Financial Independence, whether that's retirement or starting something new. I'll leave mine in the comments.

Build the treehouse!

Kids grow up to fast…

Yup, planning to write up some plans this winter so I can build it in the spring. Have kids from 4-10, so I think it's the perfect time to build one, and my SO has been begging for a mini playground, which I've pushed back on because we have a park within walking distance.
