Ran 3J during COVID (120k + 140k + 95k) and printed cash. Cut down to 2J in 2024 (120k + 95k) because the nonstop BS meetings were killing me. Dropped to 1J (120k) in 2025 after the baby, reset priorities.
Then flipped the switch. Decided to go all-in on FIRE and begin stacking hard. Hit the market again in 2025–26 and locked back into 2J (125k + 150k).
