Pause and re-start mid FIRE?
I have been on the FIRE route for a while and have a corpus of around 2.7Cr & 36/M Married (DINK). Owning a house worth 3Cr in tier 2 city (generational wealth)
Sometimes I get so drained out with work and just want to quit. My work is bad, office is toxic and I just want to quit.
I thought of barista FIRE, a concept I recently learned, but I am sceptical of getting a job which can atleast earn me 1L per month to have a decent lifestyle. (My monthly take home is 6L/month post tax, I am ok to shift to tier 2 city and have a peaceful life)
I have 4 options in mind
Should I continue to struggle with my current job, and wait for this too shall pass and there's a light at the the end of the tunnel? Any experiences or recommendations on mid FIRE crisis.
What are some options for a steady income in parallel? I have read about mushroom and saffron farming but it is risky as I have no experience. Dabbling across multiple similar jobs, teacher, consultant and so on. Doesn't look realistic.
Should I quit for a while and rejoin and pursue my FIRE dream?
Should I just move towards a LEAN fire and let go my FIRE goal. (45% of my goal).
I am aware these are based on personal choices and based on where you are in your journey in life. I am curious about if our community is going through the same and how do they come up with mid-FIRE crisis.
Regular expenses in tier 1 city: 1.5L/month Expected tier-2 city expenses: 75K/month
