Taking to the comment box, netizens shared their take. “Can you adopt me? I'm a kid (at heart),” a user said. “Congrats on FIREing at such a young age! I came to know about FIRE at 33 and my plan is to FIRE by the time I’m 40. You mentioned you are single and in the AM process. Do you think you are at a disadvantage given majority of Indians are not aware of FIRE and will think that you are “jobless” thereby hesitating to give their daughter to you? Asking because I’m married but my wife is still not convinced about FIRE although I have explained everything about it,” asked a second curious netizen.
“I thought ‘it can't get better than this’ while reading every paragraph and he proved me wrong in the next one,” said another. “Great. But, 31M here. I'm way below your financial capabilities. But, I like making money from money. I like the thrill of it. Don't you think you'll miss that thrill?” said a fourth user.
