The $84,000 Week

January 1-7

Been on FIRE mindset since August 2021 when I discovered MMM

Knew what i needed to do to retire - initial five year plan

Next right step: new job

Needed a year of calm

Bad past performance caused Mrs Chicken Stick to be leery

Took 2022 as a year of calm, year 1 of 5-year plan to retire

Knew I would focus heavily on FIRE in January of 2023

Then . . .

Business trip, bought a bunch of books ahead of time on FIRE

Read them

Put together a five-year plan

Wife got on board

Cut expenses from $4100 per month to about $3100 per month
