How do you plan and track your finances for your ideal lifestyle?

Hi everyone 👋

I’m curious about how people actually think about their ideal life and the money it takes to live it. Since we all want to retire early, I’m wondering: how do you figure out the lifestyle you want before retirement, and the lifestyle you want to have after retirement?

Some questions I’ve been thinking about:

• How do you set your financial goals, and how do you estimate how much money your ideal lifestyle would cost per month or year?
• How do you track your expenses and investments to reach your FIRE goal?
• How do you stay on track when unexpected things happen?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance!
