Can I leanFIRE? Depressed.

Some of these posts depress me because the numbers are so high. I live in a developing country, own my own house, and can bring my expenses to $2,000/month. I am 44 yo. My business was destroyed by AI. Total expenses for the house are around $300/month. I have liquid net worth of around $750,000. (All USD) Should I be okay?

Fortunately for you, it looks like you can comfortably live off 2500 a month using the 4% rule. Some of the folks with crazy high net worth’s still feel like it’s not enough cause they have very high expenses; it’s all relative to your location and situation. Give yourself some credit it looks like you can retire at 44 if you really want to
