What would it be like to discover youâve reached FIRE accidentally? Youâre burning out at work, dreading waking up to do it all over again, only to realize you have enough money to leave your job. What would you do? Stay full-time while saving up for Fat FIRE? Would you quit on the spot and pray you make it with the money you have? Maybe youâd do something more tactical like Susana Myung did when she realized she was financially independent.
After burning herself out in medical school, residency, fellowship, emergency room shifts, and eventually her nephrologist practice, Susana realized that working in medicine was slowly wearing her down even with the high pay. So, she looked up how to retire early online, ran some calculations, and realized she was Lean FIRE. That was a start!
In this video, Susana details her ten-year journey of slowly whittling down her working hours to reach where she is now: full-blown FIRE! And donât think it was easy just because sheâs a doctor. Susana still had half a million dollars of debt to pay off!
