About this episode
What is the FIRE movement? Imagine you could quit work by the age of 40 and enjoy the freedoms afforded by retirement while still pretty young. Well that’s exactly what the FIRE movement, standing for Financial Independence, Retire Early, is all about. The way of life is particularly popular among millennials, and although its origins date back to a book from the 1990s, it really gained in popularity around 2010, just when those guys were reaching their twenties.
