Reply to comment by CapitalMission8486 in Is $2k rent too much even after contributing 30% to retirement (more details below)? by CapitalMission8486

Are you trying to FIRE? If not, 30% monthly retirement could be considered overkill

It's something I'm fancying the idea of. Just started my career a few months ago, and already thinking about retiring early haha.

I would into FIRE more closely for strategies. I know very little about it, but one thought would be wanting to diversify your saving strategies since you may end up wanting to withdraw from your retirement before you reach retirement age. Plus a large savings could help with things like buying a home down the line.
