Original caption

Things have been pretty “boring” since hitting 300k a year and a half ago, everythings just kinda been on autopilot. Decided to throw a wrench in that 6 months ago and tell myself to spend whatever to see what salary I would need to retire. (That salary defines my FI number, or how much I need saved and invested before retiring.)
