 Hi Rapscallion! I'm excited to hear you got hooked by #FIRE. It's such a rewarding path to go down.

How are things going for you now that it's been 2 months since this post? 

The beginning stages of working on #financialindependence are so exciting. The FIRE Movement was my main financial path from 2014 to 2024. It still is, but I recently went down the bitcoin rabbit hole so I've added some BTC to my portfolio.

I think if I was just starting off, I would allocate a higher % to BTC, but now that I'm fairly close to full FI using #IndexFunds, I'm cautiously adding BTC to help speed up the final leg of the journey and supercharge the future.

Have you increased your savings rate? What are your thoughts on Asset Allocation right now?

Not enough people talk about BTC positively in the FIRE crowd. Frugal Stu is a good resource: https://www.getbitcoinfi.com/
