I’m done with some of these ridiculous posts in our COAST sub
“I have $2-$3M+ can I coast?”
“I don’t know the numbers how do I look?”
If you can do the research to find Coast in the subcategories of the FIRE community, then you know there’s Fat, Expat, and other FIREs. Don’t play dumb, you can do the research.
This community is about taking the first step into FIRE-hood. You don’t need millions, you don’t need paid-off everything, you just need a normal-ass amount of retirement savings to gauge whether you can COAST into your future retirement.
I will upvote every post I see with figures less than $1M because these people have the right idea, they’re not cutting off all income streams and moving to the Philippines, they’re COASTing: Quiet quitting, taking the part time job, less stressful role, more remote work flexibility.
We need to do better as a community with not allowing these outlandish posts to run unchecked, otherwise this sub will be an inaccurate mess of numbers and lifestyles that make no sense for this sub and are meant for other FIRE groups.
