Did We Live Life Right? Looking Back in Our 60s

What is the FIRE movement (Financial Independence Retire Early)? Could we have retired early if we discovered FIRE sooner? Now that we are in our 60's, we reflect on whether FIRE would have changed our life and the trade-offs between early retirement, family, and life experiences.
