Is visiting 40 countries in one year too much? TravelTuesday
One millennial couple just took the plunge and, in a matter of days, will be embarking on an adventure of a lifetime: A one-year journey across 40 countries.But ThatStuffAddsUp, as the husband goes by on the internet, is a firm believer in the FIRE philosophy, and he has a plan.“It’s been a tough past 15-20 years where I’ve been going 100 mph to try and be successful, create wealth and simply enjoy life,” he wrote in Reddit’s “Financial Independence” group, which counts 559,000 members.
He explained that achieving the first four steps meant sacrificing some of the normal things in his life. The couple downsized their apartment, sold one of their vehicles, got a Costco COST, +0.51% membership, ate at home more often, cut the cord, etc. — all basic tenets of FIRE. “I understand that tomorrow is not guaranteed,” he said. “We may not live to be 60. And, if we do, we may not have the health to travel the way we want to at that age. So, we decided now is the best time for us to take a sabbatical.”
