Thanks for your detailed project idea!!
Thank you so much for your suggestions and involvement!! Also, recommendation that everyone download an IDE (e.g., VSCode) before we get started on Monday.
Cool idea — I definitely know people who would use this.
This sounds like a lot of fun. Love poaps.

Javier, I think it would be extremely cool if someone made this projections tool based on salary data aggregated from levels.fyi
Sure! If folks want to pick this up at the upcoming Hackathon, that’d be stellar.
Yes! Lessons Learned here.
This is truly awesome!! Adding to upcoming EA Software Engineers newsletter.
I am so excited for Financial Independence for EA Software Engineers. Stay tuned, guys!! Coming soon to a Zoom near you in late February.
I’m currently coordinating a Personal Finance for Software Engineers talk to be held in Q1 2023.
I don’t have plans to develop content specific to FIREA and I’m about maxed out on projects at the moment.
Feel free to reach out in a message here on the Forum if I can provide any guidance on a draft or project plan.
Fair point, Javier! You might work with EA Anywhere on this.
Related self-promotion: I wrote up this article about my experience getting paid to digital nomad in Tulsa, OK. I’ve since moved, but I really enjoyed my time there, and I still recommend moving there for the year-long stipend.
Thanks Megan 😊 always good to hear from you.
Marcus, did you read the other comments about how someone could achieve FIRE and then volunteer in a very effective role?
Sweet, thanks for this!
If you don’t get any hits, maybe post in Highly Speculative EA Capital Accumulation?
The person who gives the presentation could use materials from the slides here and here.
plex, you always have the most interesting projects.
I am personally working toward something that shall henceforth be referred to as FIREA — Financial Independence Retire and EA.
Agreed it’s helpful to have a bit of a cushion and then go into direct work, balancing that with plans to donate GWWC too.
Thanks for raising this topic.
Fixed, I think
