episode 53: The What, Why & How of The Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) Movement
For most people in the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) community, retiring early is less about never working again and more about having the options and freedom to live the life of your dreams without being dependent on a paycheck. The FIRE movement paints a different picture of retirement and it is one of the reasons that I made reaching FIRE one of my biggest life goals.
In this solo episode, I’m explaining the What, Why & How of the FIRE movement. What it actually is, Why everyone should be on the journey to Financial Independence and How to achieve it.
In this episode I discuss:
- What FIRE means
- How I first discovered it and what first attracted me to the movement
- What FI (Financial Independence) means
- What RE (Retiring Early) means
- Why FIRE?
- Why everyone should be on the path to FIRE
- How it gives you more options & happiness
- The How of FIRE
- How to reach Financial Independence
- The formula (increasing income, decreasing expenses and creating good habits)
- Improving your mindset
- Celebrating your wins and enjoying the journey
