So you’ve discovered this FIRE movement, and you’d love to learn more. You wish there were a FIRE FAQ. Well, now there is!
I’ve done my best to compile many of the questions I had when I first learned about financial independence and how it infers the ability to retire early.
An alternate title could be “All the questions you had about FIRE but were afraid to ask.”
I’ve been writing about FIRE since 2016, and have managed two large FIRE-focused Facebook groups (fatFIRE & Physicians on FIRE) for several years.
If there’s a question to be asked about FIRE, I’ve probably addressed it.
Financial Independence. Retire Early.
Can you FIRE based on cashflow?
The long answer is that most cashflow streams require some maintenance (i.e. work) and all of them require work up-front.
