FIRE Movement


Hello and welcome back to the 360 Money Matters podcast! Saving is no easy task. Especially in our current day and age that encourages high consumerist lifestyles and an economy where many individuals and families are drowning in debt. The traditional solution would be to keep working hard, but the idea of carrying on in the workforce well beyond our 60s isn’t a future not many of us want.

 

Today’s topic is about a financial movement that’s been gaining traction over the past few years called Financial Independence, Retire Early, or the FIRE Movement. We will discuss in detail the philosophies behind the movement, how you can start saving and investing early, and how simple living can be a stepping stone towards helping you achieve your desired income lifestyle.

 

If you’re looking for an effective and extreme strategy to achieve financial independence before you reach your 60s, give this episode a listen and see if FIRE’s strategy is the one for you. This is a strategy that can be followed to its fullest extent or take the elements that resonate most with you. Stay tuned!
