Retirement

Do you think that 35 years old is too young to retire?

I recently read up about the FIRE movement, and am interested to understand what is the community's views regarding a very early retirement.

I don't think it matters, the age in which one retires. The younger the age, the more green-eyed people get, haha.

I have some relatives that retired pretty early, at age 40+, definitely the envy of many. Are you intending to follow the movement and at some point retire early? So far, from what you've read, any cool tactics to share other than passive income streams and saving more?

Make some calculations the amount of retirement funds you need for the next 45 years (assuming you live till 80 years old), then you will realize why it is not realistic (albeit possible) for such an early retirement.

Things get worse if you intend to settle down, ie. getting married, 1-2 kids, etc...
