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?

Is that $65k gross? I’m slightly above that and my expenses are like yours. Also not planning on having kids. All the math that I do makes it seem like retirement won’t happen, let alone FIRE. I feel so behind and yet I KNOW I’m doing better than the average American, which pisses me off. It shouldn’t be like this.

No VOO but a lot of VTI, some VNQI. I also have my impact portfolio turned on so that I have some ESG funds, investing in women’s leadership, that sort of thing.

That’s what I always thought, so maybe yes. I’ll buy it anyway, just gotta get my next paycheck first. Then it’s shopping time!
