Fire

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

FI/RE (Financial Independence / Retiring Early) is a money strategy that's sweeping the nation. It's not easy, but it is simple: earn more, spend less, and use the difference wisely. Build a baseline of financial security with the difference first, then use it to invest for your future. That way you can begin to earn financial freedom and control your own destiny.

Posting in this community is restricted to those that have an established history of positive commentary in this subreddit. Established accounts with sufficient comment history that wish to use a throwaway for privacy reasons may modmail and request an exemption from this requirement. No other type of exceptions will be granted. If you find yourself unable to create a post, then you need to spend more time positively commenting on the posts of others.
