I'm retiring tomorrow — and it feels surreal

I first discovered the FIRE movement on an old Motley Fool board in the late '90s. 📚✨ After 25+ years of saving and investing, tomorrow is my last day at work. Today was bittersweet — I had heartfelt chats with colleagues about how meaningless so much of corporate life feels. 😔 One is under 30 and already building her "freedom fund." Another dreams of moving to Southeast Asia but feels trapped. While I'll miss a few amazing people, I'm thrilled to leave behind 7:45am meetings, mandatory "happy hours," and endless, pointless problems disguised as urgent crises. 🕊️ What I'm most excited for? A Sunday evening with zero dread. 💛 Have you ever dreamed of walking away from it all? What would be the first thing you'd do? 🌅👇 #FIREMovement #EarlyRetirement #LifeAfterWork #FreedomLifestyle #GoodbyeCorporateLife #JobCareer #Career
