Anyone else doing "slow FIRE"?

I don't want to retire at 35 and eat beans. I'm targeting FIRE at 50 with a comfortable lifestyle. Save 30-35% of income, enjoy my 30s and 40s, and have a fully funded retirement by 50. Anyone else taking the slower path?

Yes! The aggressive FIRE community made me feel like I was failing by enjoying my money. 30% savings rate, nice vacations, retire at 50. That's my version.
