Lookback: 7 years after retirement

Optimized expenses for FIRE

I've managed to maintain a relatively low expense lifestyle while still treating myself to occasional luxuries like a $7,500 Alaska cruise.

What I wish I knew
"I should have kept an HSA for the past 6 years to save an extra $4k+"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider optimizing your expenses for FIRE and taking advantage of tax-advantaged accounts like HSAs."
