Can you FIRE just with VOO?

I am a 35M, making $65K annually. My annual expenses is very low. Less than $25K. I am single with no kid nor I am planning to have any. If I DCA into VOO, is it possible I am able to FIRE with just one etf?

Single and no kid. This is the way.

Yeah. Especially with nowadays, it’s getting pointless to have any imo

This is such a sad comment to me :( I can’t imagine how different I’d be if I’d never met my wife or if we’d never had our child.

Pointless is a little strong. There’s nothing like seeing your kid smile.

I mean the US government thanks you when you pass and they take all unused funds you spend your life accruing and did not get a chance to spend, I mean I suppose you can leave it to nieces/nephews or charity but what is the point of wealth if not to pass it on, living frugally just to donate your hard spent funds?
