I am rather sceptical about the whole FIRE idea, and it also doesn’t look like we, as a couple, can afford it. Anyway, not before children become independent. I think that retiring with a moderate (well, for Switzerland) wealth while having dependents is a big risk that we don’t need to take. Another aspect that bothers me somewhat is that retiring well before the regular retirement age while children are still young might give them a false message about values. But probably I am overthinking.

If anything, it’s Coast FIRE that appeals me. This article describes it quite well:
