The FIRE movement stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early.
It is a lifestyle and financial movement that aims to achieve financial independence and retire early by saving and investing a high percentage of their income, living frugally, and avoiding consumer debt.
The idea is to accumulate enough wealth to cover living expenses and retire before the typical retirement age.
