34M, from developing Asian country, 350K saved, and no one to share FIRE journey with.
Title pretty much says it all. I'm used to keeping things to myself (growing up gay in conservative countries can do that to a person), no one in my lifeknows my NW or my FIRE plan, let alone share the journey. Most of my friends and family still live in our home country, married with children, have their lives saving locked in properties or spent on raising children, and hope the state pension will still be enough to keep them afloat 30 years from now. Probably think I'm very weird for being single, childless and globally mobile at the "ripe" age of 34, if they think of me at all. "Why are you still not married?" "When do you plan to come back and settle down?" are the most common questions thrown at me when we do meet.
I have about 350K saved & invested and am contributing 3K montly. I speak Spanish at near-native level and hope to leanFIRE in Spain before I hit 50, ideally before 45. I enjoyed Chile/Uruguay too, but they're a bit too far from home.
I guess I don't have any question ATM. Reddit is mostly US-centric. I just want to share my story so that people in similar circumstances can relate. If you're also from a poor country, perhaps also LGBT, unfamiliar with terms like 401K/Roth, maybe slightly frustrated at the astromonical numbers often posted by American friends, you're not alone. Slow and steady can also get us to the destination :)
Of course also feel free to critique my FIRE plan though I haven't shared it in great detail.
