FIRE Explained
FIRE stands for financial independence, retire early. In practical terms, it means building enough assets to support spending without relying on regular work income.
Why context matters
A FIRE estimate is useful, but it should usually be compared against your current net worth and a fuller retirement plan.
What to watch for
Aggressive assumptions can make a plan look easier than it is. Testing different scenarios is part of using the concept well.
Use the right tools together
The FIRE Calculator, Net Worth Calculator, and Retirement Planner work best as a sequence rather than isolated estimates.
