FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. It is a movement focused on saving and investing aggressively so you can live off your portfolio sooner than the traditional retirement age.
The core idea is simple: control your expenses, grow your income, and invest the difference. Over time, your investments produce enough passive income to cover your living costs.
There are many flavors of FIRE, including Lean FIRE, Fat FIRE, and Coast FIRE. Each one reflects a different lifestyle goal and risk tolerance.
