I could so easily relate to most of the article, as I too have been a victim of the rate-race in the corporate sector, which I quit for good many years ago. While I did manage to save up enough to support myself financially for couple of years, I haven't had the courage to start a business, the way you did. For many of us who slogged our life away in an underpaid job, working for ourselves (self-employed) is a dream. I had read about your FIRE concept in a newspaper article couple of months ago, and have been curious to explore earning options which would enable me to define my own work-life balance. After all, I would much rather slog 12-14 hours for myself and reap the benefits, than do the same to make an employer richer (while remaining just as poor ;-) Look forward to reading up on new avenues to explore, for middle-aged persons like myself, to get to lead a more fulfilling life someday.
