Not at all. These are normal questions, especially from r/financialindependence back from Reddit. South Florida but I bought my house and homesteaded it (locks the property taxes to no more than 3% increase per year) before the value doubled. Home is paid off. No other debt anymore. I can and have spent as little as $25k per year, to as much as $40k per year. This only represents my half of expenses though. My wife has her own fire plans.
What’s your retirement number to retire by 40?
Close to $2M, but I care more about dividend income than the current stock market prices. If I can survive on dividends from VTSAX then I’m good.
Home paid off? LCOL area?
I apologize if these are prying questions.

Legend. You should be proud of yourself. Not sure where I’m heading but FIRE or a lean FIRE is one of the options.
