Redditors talking about finances can only go one of two ways:
"There's something fundamentally WRONG with SOCIETY because I can't stop spending all my disability money on funkpops!!!"
or
"I manage to save 10,000 dollars a day on a 4 dollars a year salary just by only eating wet rice, sucking my landlord's scab-infested peepee, walking my 50 mile commute to a Victorian-era coal mine, and pirating all my anime!"
there is no in between

The FIRE nerds are so lame. Oh, cool, you managed to save $1 mil by living on rice and beans with only a bare mattress in your hovel so you can "retire" at 40 on an income of 3k/mo so you can... Live on rice and beans in a hotel with only a bare mattress and zero hobbies.
Just like, find a job you can enjoy and try to retire at 55 or 60 while living a good life that's actually enjoyable

Compounding interest means it's way better to save every dollar possible until you can live a decent life on guaranteed returns, but it's ok to keep working once you get there
