exactly! I was wondering where she got the job to do some reading for 1.5 hour per day for $3k a month. I need to get that job hahahah

I paid off 25K in credit card debt. I got that debt after I traveled around the world for a few years when I needed to sort things out after a sibling's suicide. The debt came upon my return to the States and being unemployed for an entire year. Got a job in my hyper specialized field. It took a little over a year to clear that debt. It helped that I had moved to a small town for my job. The rent for a 4 bedroom house was 700 bucks. There was really nothing to buy. And not too many restaurants to go to. Beer at a bar was 5 bucks. And since there was no peer pressure to go and do fancy things, I didn't feel too much bummer-ness in the whole experience.

I mean, if you are paying only 600$ for mortgage and generating 3000$ (assuming post-tax) income per month, you are in a good shape even without having 300k on the retirement. But of course it helps to achieve “FI”. Also, most people don’t want to be forced to work. But, people want to work, too. So, it is great to be saving for the worst.

I don't see how she saved enough for retirement. 300k ish of investments in your 30's does not seem to be enough to stretch you into your 80s even with her low rate of spend. She hasn't discussed how she obtains medical benefits with her low salary. Additionally, that nest egg she has with 4-5% annualized return only equates to 1.2 million or so at 65. It is really not enough when you factor in other expenses between now and 65. She will need to earn much more as she goes - I wouldn't count that as FIRE. If she had 2 million dollar nest egg then yea - I would say that is FIRE.
