Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE)

It sounds nice but what well paid jobs allow you to gradually taper down? If you can't taper down in a well paid job then it's a huge shift to a probably close to NMW job.
Possibly contracting I guess.

It would be contracting in my line of work mostly.
And yes. It is a shame. I hope this changes in the future.

Tbh even low pay easy temp jobs would prop it up Quite well.
I'm on the way to 500k if I save at 9pc salary and expect 5pc YoY growth


All being well, health, I'd rather work 1/2 the year and have more money for doing things than just sitting around at home but doing no work. As someone who suffers with mental health I fear the ability to procrastinate without penalty (by no penalty I mean right now I have to go to work so time is precious, I value my weekends so get out on them) would be terrible for me.

I see too many old, miserable people, Including in my family, with too much time and money but no drive to use it.
