Update from one year ago. 1.375m.

Hey. Almost exactly a year since this post https://www.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/comments/1fhs0pb/1m/ and thought i'd update. Still at the same job in software though switched to another team and hate it and have thought about quitting but going to try and keep milking it. I also cannot be arsed to interview. I'm at the point where the 4 years of overlapping RSUs vesting has made income high though our company stock is pretty shitty and doesn't grow. I've decided to start properly taking all my PTO to help me get through it. I usually have a 5 week surplus at any given time.

In the meantime I've acquired Taiwanese citizenship by descent so I have that as an easy geoarbitrage option. I'd love to base myself there for a couple years and become fluent in mandarin and travel around Asia.

I think my goal is still $2m. My spouse isn't really interested in FIRE or geoarbritage so that's probably going to be an issue in the next couple years we're going to have to compromise on, but I'm going to think about that later 😅. Still no kids or kid plans.
