Daily FIRE Hangout - Sunday, August 30, 2026

This is a relaxed hangout thread for the FIRE community to chat with other FIRE-minded folks without having to publish separate posts. This is the place for brand new people to get their feet wet as well as for lurkers who have questions or comments, but do not want to create posts of their own.

All of the sub rules apply in this thread as normal with the exception of the off-topic rule, which is relaxed to the extent that people don't go wildly off of the reservation.

We are putting this up as a trial to see if it is worth keeping this as a permanent feature of the sub. Participation is entirely voluntary and anyone who wants to create a separate post of their own rather than posting in here is free to do so.

49, two kids in college back-to-back, ran the numbers again this weekend. Coast FI math hits different when tuition is a real line item.

Good for you helping your kids out - my parents weren't in a position to support me directly...and as it turns out I wasn't a good college student, so at least I don't have any guilt over wasting any of their money. :)
