the real FIRE is when you achieve it in same country you live in. Otherwise, its all about satisfying your ego.

This is very shallow thinking. So many people in US, UK, Europe work in big cities such as NY, London and they retire further away IN the same country at cheaper locations. Singapore is so small. We can retire in neighbouring countries. Don’t be naive. Travel the world and observe.

The most sensible comment thus far

Got to agree with this. Should aim to FIRE in the same country you live in.

Not the OP- but can you give a more apt analogy then?

I reached FIRE ten years ago. Have been enjoying a wonderful ten years of retirement.
Now I’m 53. My condo and car are paid up. Just need $3k pm of expenses. Over the past ten years my condo value has gone up.

Congratulations.

Just wondering why after 10 happy years of retirement, on a lovely Christmas, you felt the need to come on an anonymous Internet forum to share this?

That's quite easy to answer. Change the "lovely" to "lonely" lor.
