[M4F] 24 NY looking for someone to enjoy early retirement with

Well on my way to fire in my late 30s. Looking for someone with similar stats. Sorry if that’s cold but I’m quite paranoid of gold diggers. Here’s my dating resume:

I have nice eyes

I’ve been playing music daily for 12 years. I’d say I’m talented

I have a good job in the entertainment industry

Very goal oriented

Generally agreeable

Love to please—- I’ll cook for u

Willing to compromise

I don’t expect anything to come of this post but if I found someone to go through life with on the same path as me that would be really cool. 99% chance nothing comes of this but 1% is worth writing a post. Message me if your on the same path. If you don’t have anything to bring to the table don’t message me

40 [M4F] Looking for adventurous partner in the DC/NoVA area

Hi!

I'm in the northern virginia area, and looking for like-minded women to date in the area.

I haven't made dating a priority most of my life, but now that I'm a bit older am looking to get more serious about it.

Looking for women that are warm, intelligent, and adventurous. I love outdoorsy activities (hiking, backpacking, biking, etc), and try to do at least one big trip per year.

I'm definitely more of a saver than a spender, but also make sure to allocate money to have good life experiences.

Shoot me a message if you're interested in chatting!

26 [F4M] - Looking to Relocate for FI!

Career: Organizational Development/People Ops. I was based in major east coast cities most recently, but my job is being shifted to totally remote because of COVID. I can basically move anywhere in the USA, but it would be better if I was within 50 miles of Dallas, Atlanta, Portland, LA, Seattle, Chicago, Orlando, Minneapolis, St. Louis, D.C., or a handful of other cities where my company has large offices.

Lifestyle: Frugal but fun. I'd call myself a minimalist but I still like to have a nice aesthetic with my home and personal appearance. I enjoy living in cities because of all the activities (pre-COVID) but the higher COL is detrimental to my FIRE plans :(

Pet: A cat who's basically a dog. I don't know if I want another pet in the future because it makes moving and travel more difficult.

Favorite things: Documentaries, reading (mostly fiction), long walks/being outside, pilates, game nights, traveling (I've visited 40 countries and 25 states so far), learning (I speak 3 languages and am always taking online courses to learn new things), theater/musicals, history museums, basketball/volleyball/football, Thai food, and budgeting!

Goals: Aiming to retire around 35-40 (depending on how I'm feeling about my career and what the market does) and would love to travel extensively for a while (maybe 1-2 years?) before settling down somewhere. I'm not very into real estate but if that's your thing, cool! I'd love to spend "retirement" volunteering, teaching fitness classes, and maybe being a foster parent? I don't really want kids of my own but love the idea of helping those who need it. I'd also consider doing a Ph.D. and teaching, but only if I kept it low-stress. I love being social and having a community/circle of friends is important to me. I just want to look back on my life and be happy and feel like I made the world a marginally better place.

I'm just looking for someone who wants the same things from life and gets me and my frugality, minimalism, and nerdiness.

24 [M4F] - NY or Long Distance

Work in tech, hoping to FIRE mid-late thirties with aspirations to travel in a van/tiny home, do some through-hiking maybe, etc. In no rush at all, just looking to meet someone on a similar path. Into the gym/fitness, dogs, cooking, etc. Free health care after 65 too, so no need to relocate to the EU or anything post-retirement either. That's right ladies!

27 [M4F] Toronto, ON - open to long distance

Hello,

This sub looks a bit inactive, but hey still worth a shot. I'm a FI minded guy. 27 years old, will be turning 28 in a couple of months. Currently working in Toronto. Open to a long distance relationship and open to leaving Toronto if the right person comes along.

I'm currently tracking to be FI within 5-10 years, though I don't think I will RE.

Personality wise I'm an ISTJ and more of a homebody.

If interested, send me a PM and I'll share more info as well as send you a link to my OKCupid profile.

27.5 (F4M/friends) NYC

Hi everyone!

This is clearly a very inactive reddit sub, but figured it didn't hurt to see if anyone in the NYC area wanted to hang out with me and nerd out about personal finance!

Things I also nerd out about / do:

  • broadway
  • volleyball
  • my puppy
  • short weekend trips out of the city
  • all of the free things to do in the city
  • stage manage (sometimes)
  • designing software (UX designer)
  • helping people with their finances
  • did I mention my puppy yet?

Looking for like-minded friends since most people in NYC have no idea how to manage money...

26 (M4F or travel partner) Anywhere

Currently working in a small town about two hours outside of Denver. But I love to travel and being outdoors. This summer I went to Europe for 2 weeks, and then traveled every weekend for 2 months after that. No where fancy just seeing different places. I don't follow a strict plan for FI (my spreadsheets get updated once a year), I save roughly 70% of my pay haven't done the detailed math. The reason I said anywhere is I move around for work, one benefit of this is I get 2 three day weekends a month and a travel allowance so I can go visit places.

That's enough rambling about me.

What I'm looking for: Someone who enjoys traveling, lives below their means, and knows how to have a good time without drinking.

Look forward to hearing from you.

31 [M4R] China - Talking about FIRE plans

So I'm an expat making it rain RMBs over here in China. My FIRE concept is very international, trying out different countries and lifestyles, maybe even retrain as a teacher if I can find a semi-working lifestyle I like.

Anyone else in the region? Want to talk about your situation and goals?

With a booming economy here, I would think there would be other like-minded FIRE people around.

Doesn't matter your stage - I hope to be done on in a few years, but things have come up that may make that even longer.

30 [F4M or friends!] SF North Bay

I just moved to Marin from SF. Although my savings rate isn't as high as I would like because of an expensive athletic hobby that I compete in at an elite level, saving is important to me. I don't have many friends in Marin so we could hang out and do free things. Or we could fall in love, but you should tolerate cats if that is going to happen.

Welcome!

I've been thinking about making this subreddit for a while, so I went ahead and did it. Finding a good partner is hard enough, and hopefully this subreddit will help folks filter for people who share their personal finance values. Hope you enjoy!

Also, I've never made a subreddit before, so suggestions are welcome!
