Thanks for the insight. I suppose not everyone is cut out for business, having to fail multiple times before hitting the jackbox. In that case the slower road of 401K, FIRE etc is still better than nothing!
The screams of a lottery mindset, as if business is pure luck. Sure some luck is involved, but I'll take 2 shots at calling a coin flip instead of one, or none. When you manipulate variables in the game and stick to mathematically based principles, it becomes mostly skill and some luck, instead of mostly luck and some skill.
So yes, I think FIRE is a great starting point for a FASTLANE. Yes, better than nothing. It is a great practice in discipline, delayed gratification and financial management. As a way to live? Hell no. Because FIRE is not DELAYED gratification -- it is NO gratification and a lot of mental gymnastics to justify the asceticism.
