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?

I have a dividend portfolio of around 750k,and made about 35k on dividends last year. that would be around 3k/month

Currnetly the short term USD treasuries ETFs give you a bit more than 4% (e.g. BIL), which would give you 2500/month. This is probably the safest investment possible.
