The FIRE Movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is Lying to You

I'm all FIRE'd up!

FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is a movement that is all about making and saving enough money at an "early" age so that you can live off your investments for the rest of your life.

I'll be honest that I've thought about this subject a lot. In fact, I quit my job in 2011 (in my early 30s) and have been building online businesses ever since.

I sold my software company a few years ago for 7 figures and have had some other successful ventures.

I've thought, "I might be able to just stop working and live on what I've saved for the rest of my life".

I wanted to see what others have been able to achieve and see if this FIRE lifestyle was something I should pursue.

However, the more I researched the bloggers and influencers that say they have "retired early" thanks to their savings, the more I got annoyed.

And even a little upset!

Today, I want to share my thoughts on the FIRE Movement and why I think most of the influencers are lying to you.
