Do you have Financial Independent Friends "In Real Life"

This subreddit is for: People who are or want to become Financially Independent (FI), which means not having to work for money.

So the question is do You have "Real-Life" friend(s) or family members who also have a FI mentality?

I wish I had someone to bounce ideas, dreams and progress with in real life about saving, investing, not working early in life. (My wife currently enjoys working and it's her identity at the moment. She doesn't think about money as much or the same way I do...she just works and wants me to manage her finances. She doesn't really care about our net worth or our expenses). Everyone else I know seems to accept the fact that you work til 60 or 65.....if not for the money, then the employer healthcare.

Talking about Personal Finance may not be openly shared since its viewed as Taboo topic. Consumerism and Materialism is crazy. So that makes me think having a FI mindset is pretty rare.....and most of the answers in this community will be "NO".

Is this why we are drawn to this community with 2.2M members

Btw, I guess there can be different extremes and approaches to FI as well:

--Saving $200k and living Vanlife/overseas forever.

--Owning rentals/a business that run themselves.....and not really having to work.

I think the common medium approach is saving and investing...then continuing the current lifestyle living off of the saved nest egg.
