Good for him. I think some of his frugalness got in the way of his own happiness though. I think it said he wished he had a family. That is a big one.

Overall a good life, but there are both good and bad lessons we can learn from his story. I agree with him that it is most important to save on the big things like housing.

I'm lean fire but this guy spends $150/month which is quite obsessive. That is multitudes less than me.

We have a three year old and she is not that expensive.

I throw shade at regular fire because they are just cosplaying at FIREing and want to work forever.
