151k members
r/ChubbyFIRE is a subreddit with 151k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses fire, retirement, struggling, net worth, and kids.
This sub is for those who fall between r/FIRE and r/FatFIRE. We are focused on the financial side of early retirement at an asset level that allows an upper middle class lifestyle. That level will vary by location, household size and other variables, but a general guideline is $2.5M - $6M in your retirement portfolio. If you plan to retire with a leaner lifestyle in spite of a Chubby portfolio, r/FIRE might be a better fit. Your account must be 15+ days in age with 50+ karma in order to post.
