FIRE’d and Now Craving Family Life? My Unexpected Dilemma 🤔

I always thought I had it all figured out—single, financially independent, retired early, and living the dream. But lately, I can’t shake this nagging feeling: what if I actually want a family now? It’s wild because I spent years escaping the 9-to-5 grind, only to find myself wondering if I should jump back in for the sake of future kids. Would I need to go back to work? Should I even consider a pre-nup if I get married? And if I meet someone who’s also FIRE’d, would one of us need to become a full-time parent? Honestly, I’m torn and a bit anxious. Has anyone else faced this twist after FIRE? How did you handle the shift from solo freedom to family dreams? I’d love to hear your advice or stories! 🫠 #FIRElife #CareerChange #WorkLifeBalance #JobCareer
