Stepping into new Lifestyle - F.I.R.E

First about me.. I am IT professional from last 20+ years, travelled to different countries more frequently and lived in two countries other than India for more than 10 years at different phases of life. I am aged 43, married and have two young kids.

As mentioned in title, now stepping into new life style which is Post-Retirement phase. Starting this blog to share my journey, why and how decision has been made to retire Early and to continue sharing my experiences.

Why to share my journey and experiences..

1. Like to share my experiences with like minded people so that I can also hear from them and learn new things
2. Noticed that there are very few blogs/forums related to Early retirement in India
3. Track our progress regularly.

    Hi.. Good to see your blog especially on F.I.R.E from this part of world. Looking forward to hear your experiences. I am also pursuing FIRE and looking forward to retire by 45. By the way, when did you first hear about early retirement or FIRE?

      Hi Bhaskar.. Thanks for your comments. Happy to see you are aiming to retire early by 45. Best of luck.
      About your question, I first heard about FIRE concept/terminology only two months back. But my friends retired couple of years back which made me to start thinking about early retirement. My two years UK opportunity and my investment in real estate gave me an advantage to make a decision to retire 3-4 years earlier than I thought (at 43)

      Hi Jani.. Thanks for your comments. I will ensure I keep sharing my experiences on a continuous basis.
      About your question, it is bit tricky to answer. Saw couple of my friends retiring in last two years with less corpus made me to start thinking about it. As there were not many online forums related to FIRE India, my friends were the only sources. So spent enough time with them in understanding dynamics and made a decision.

Health

Thought to write about Health related things what I am focussing on now. I strongly believe that health is very important in all phases of life especially from early 40s. And if we lose control over it at this phase of life then it is more difficult to bring it to normal. So my focus on health from last two years increased. And will continue spending more time on health related aspects. Before discussing on what I follow and wish to follow related to Health, like to tell about myself.. During childhood and early stages of life till mid 20s, I had very lean and under weight to normal weight physique. And being busy in IT field, didnt notice that body shifted to skinny fat mode and started feeling fatigue, tested Diabetes type-2 (border level), high cholestrol (Triglycerides).

Jurassic Coast and more importantly Chesil Beach

Didnt ever thought that I will write about my travel in this blog. Couple of reasons behind that are too much travel in UK, Europe during last few years and sunsconsciously mind is not eager to explore places. I have many other things to explore in the list. But my trip last week to Chesil beach made me to write about it. Last week planned to go to Weymouth Public beach with Jurassic coast drive as main attraction. Went to Weymouth public beach and drove Jurassic coast two years back after a month of moving to UK. Because of beautiful landscape around Jurassic coast, thought to drive again. As part of it, reached Weymouth public beach in the afternoon considering two young kids, not possible to start early in mornings.. ofcourse my wife is not morning person which is main reason :)  Spent three hours in Weymouth public beach. Enjoyed blue sea, lovely soft sand and as usual kids does not want to leave the beach after three hours of play in the beach. With lot of convincing, kids agr...
