LIGHT A FIRE UNDER YOUR RETIREMENT! 
I keep getting this question from people outside the FIRE community: What have you sacrificed to try and achieve this goal?

From Financial Orchid … In our efforts and sacrifices to FIRE, we often forget a very important message: to also live for now sooner rather than later. As we adjust our mindsets to live lean, and stay within a safe withdrawal rate every year, we save every dime to reinvest back for growth and dividends […]
From Millionaire Mob … Personal financial ratios are key metrics that help people make conscious decisions about their financial future. Personal financial ratios give you an edge in your analysis by using simple math. Financial planners, a family, and individuals are the main users of personal financial ratios.

From Josh Overmyer … Overall, my home ownership story has been a truly awful experience that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone… but these days, I am finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.

From Mr. Jamie Griffin … “A couple weeks ago I saw a picture of a massive tree that got blown over by the wind. The tree was huge! It probably would’ve taken a few people holding hands to measure all the way around it. Looking closer at the tree I noticed something interesting. The roots were […]
From On Our Way World … As we all know, there are tons of different ways to FIRE, so hopefully saying this doesn’t get me kicked out of the club… Ever since I first heard about the concept of “retire early and often“, or alternating work with a brief sabbatical or “mini-retirement” it resonated with […]
From Dividends Down Under … “‘Automation’ means something different to each person. Automation could mean automated cars and trucks.
