Are you FI or FIRE? (March 2026)

[Beate]

That was an amusing reply, but unfortunately complete off the mark.

@Beate

On this forum, although it looks like a FIRE forum, not many people seem FIRed, actually. They (the people not fired) still make a lot of noise for how to FIRE, even to FIRE people.

@almi

But complaining on a free forum that people without or other credentials (no way to know this anyway, most are anonymous) are too loud, is strange to me.

I am not sure exactly where the complaint that you phrased – “people without or other credentials … are too loud” – is phrased as complaint in my post.

No complaint stated from me. Check above. I only stated the facts: many more people not FIREd make lots of noise about how to FIRE, including for those who have FIREd.

You can check how many people are actually FIRE in the poll I have created: Are you FI or FIRE? (March 2026). So far 5 FIRE. Including one who created his/her account less than 24 hours ago.

I hope other forum members who are FIRE will respond, too. And as already I said

@Beate

I hope we have more FIRE people again soon.

BTW, it looks like long time FIREd member @oslasho perhaps left the building, too.
At least I can not find most of his posts anymore.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
