DH’s sudden obsession with FIRE

[Firewife2]

FIRE is a sort of financial movement where you aggressively save/invest to be able to retire early /be financially free. DH is only 34 but discovered FIRE two years ago and is now utterly obsessed with it and investing aggressively. I don’t think being future aware it a bad thing, but it’s borderline obsession and I feel like he’s forgot to also live in the moment. Without being morbid, he might not even make it.

He earns a reasonable salary (takes home c.3K a month) and now allocates at least a third of this to saving/investing, so there is little room after bills for luxuries such as meals out etc.

I know it’s his choice, that’s obvious, but I am interested in what others think and it my viewpoint is unreasonable at all.

As someone who retired last week at t nohe age of 75- it's my second attempt,so we'll see how it pans out - I can't imagine anyone retiring at 54. What on earth do they do with their time? It sounds deadly!

Have you no interests or social circle outside work? Sounds deadly.

Tell me he's doing all the homework chores and making all the dinners at least?

I’d guess @Firewife2 doesn’t work or contribute financially as I suppose she might have mentioned this and how her income and savings compares with her husband’s if she did.
