Barista FIRE is the middle path (the name comes from keeping a part-time job — famously for the health insurance): you've saved enough that a bit of light work covers today's bills, while your invested pot keeps growing toward full retirement on its own. It takes a lot of the pressure off without needing the full FIRE number up front.
This works out whether you're at that point yet: put in your age, what you've invested and your target, and see whether your pot can carry the retirement side while part-time income handles the rest. Try it, and if you're not quite there, nudge the numbers — Barista FIRE often arrives years earlier than full FIRE, which is rather the point.
