The FIRE Exit
Glossary

FIRE — financial independence, retire early

An approach built on saving and investing a large share of your income so you can reach financial independence and stop working decades earlier than usual. It is a framework for buying back your time, not a single fixed plan.

What it means for you

The core idea is simple: spend less than you earn, invest the gap, and let it grow until work is optional.

My take

Financial autonomy long before the official age for it: under no obligation to work, not needing it for the money — working if you want to, when you want to.

Read the thinkingOwn your time Notes from a talk I gave on financial independence, tightened up. None of it is advice. It's just how I think about money.

Every term, in plain English, on one page: the full glossary. Education, not advice.
