FIRE stands for "Financial Independence, Retire Early." It is a movement or lifestyle choice that aims to allow individuals to retire much earlier than the typical retirement age by saving and investing a significant portion of their income and living frugally. The goal of FIRE is to achieve financial independence, which is defined as having enough passive income or assets to cover one's living expenses without the need to work for pay.
There are different approaches to achieving financial independence and retiring early, but one common approach is to save a high percentage of one's income, invest in a diversified portfolio of assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, and live below one's means. By doing so, it is possible to accumulate enough wealth to provide a sufficient passive income stream to support oneself without the need to work.
It is important to note that achieving financial independence and retiring early requires a significant amount of planning and discipline, and it is not something that is achievable for everyone. It also requires a certain level of risk tolerance, as investing in the financial markets carries the potential for losses as well as gains. It is important to carefully consider one's financial goals and circumstances before embarking on the FIRE journey.
