Lean-FIREd Russian-American-Canadian in Quebec, eh! :)

This is so strange - I used to read ERE all the time, but I never realized there was a forum as well. Better late than never, eh?
I'm not as extreme as Jacob (still mastering the art of cooking lentils! ) but I spent the last 12 years moving all over the US in pursuit of slightly better paychecks to get slightly closer to FIRE, to the point of moving from the US to Canada (Toronto, to be precise) because I figured the social safety net here was better for long-term retirement.
I finally acquired my "FU money" and my Canadian permanent residency in March 2021, said "FU" (but politely haha) to my job in May, and moved to the beautiful (and dirt-cheap!) Quebec City in September. Also, I've started a blog (yes, yet another lean-FIRE blog lol) to describe my philosophy: www.letsretireyoung.com
I'm already growing fond of this forum, especially after reading the hilarious thread on homesteading in studio apartments LOL, and I hope to become a regular here! After all, gotta find something to fill the next 50 years with, eh?
Cheers, y'all!
