I am currently at a high paying job... This is my plan but I don't know if I can make it. It feels like such a privileged position but I see and hear of sudden tragedies and wonder, is this really something I am comfortable doing if my last day is tomorrow? I guess I wish we could have the best of both worlds -- freedom to pursue what is interesting and financial stability. It seems possible, but difficult...

How does this work, as far as I understand FIRE targets typically have you making less than you did doing wage work. Typically enough to live moderately comfortable and support any family you might have. Hobbies can get expensive.
