FIRE for dummies

Welcome to F.I.R.E. For Dummies!

F.I.R.E. (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is an aspirational goal that sparks curiosity in many. It’s an approach to personal finance that helps you reach your financial goals in a compressed time frame so that you get to financial independence much sooner than you may have ever imagined. It’s like personal finance on steroids. “How” you get there involves following a simple recipe that is openly talked about in the F.I.R.E. community. The Retire Early part of F.I.R.E. is the powerful position you may want to be in, but if you love your job, you may choose not to. The important thing is that you have the flexibility to walk away on your terms at a moment’s notice if you decide that’s best for you. Although F.I.R.E. and its simple principles are available to all, some people don’t even know this possibility exists or discover it much later in their careers. (You don’t know what you don’t know.) Luckily for you, you’ve found F.I.R.E. For Dummies, which can be your guide on your path to F.I.R.E.
