A working dad, starting a long journey to reach FIRE, contentment, or both.
Today, I have a guest post from Patricia Sanders, writing about how to achieve FIRE, which occasionally seems far away for this working dad. It probably doesn’t help that I’m batting about .400 with this list of suggestions. (And yes, the caption on the picture is mine.)

In my last post, I wrote about being content with my station in life. I didn’t win the Mega Millions jackpot; my job situation hasn’t changed; and, at the moment, I certainly am not pulling in the readers the way other bloggers have done. Contentment is more of an exercise for me than a character trait. I ask myself: what do those other bloggers have that I don’t? (Well, other than popularity.) The first answer that comes to me is that all of them have, or had (for those who reached FIRE*), a plan.
