FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) @lemmy.ml andocas @lemmy.world 1mo ago Weekly Discussion: 16 June 2025
I just updated my annual spreadsheet (haven’t been on top of it) and some “fun” facts that no one asked for:Our portfolio almost covers my base salary at a naive 4% withdrawalOur net worth is 81% of total lifetime gross earnings My pay at my current job has increased an average of 20% annually over the last decade (with considerable volatility)My pay this year is almost 7x more than my first job out of college (inflation adjusted)Our highest earning year was 4 years ago Our net worth has increased a bit over 6x since I heavily got into FIREMy 401k is worth just under double the gross contributions
A few Qs because I hate myself:what is your base salary?what is your pay currently?do you amend your base salary calculations when you get a raise?also what do you do that gives you a 20% raise every year?
I’m conflicted on giving numbers, by default it feels like an unintended flex. But hey, it’s the fire community and we love numbers so…$150kcomplicated, but has averaged $750k the last few yearsI don’t, this was a factoid, I concentrate on expenditures tech in finance, mostly leading teams and managing people
