The FIRE Movement

FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. It's a community of people reverse-engineering freedom using the 25x formula. But "retire" is misleading — most FIRE practitioners don't stop working. They stop working for money. They pursue passion projects, travel, volunteer, or start businesses without survival pressure. The goal isn't leisure. It's optionality — the power to choose how you spend your time without a paycheck dictating the answer.
