The FIRE Exit
Glossary

Stored freedom

My way of describing money: not a scoreboard or a pile of things, but freedom you have saved up and can later spend as time, choice, and calm. Each amount you keep is a slice of future life you no longer have to sell.

What it means for you

Framed this way, the point of saving is not to get rich but to own more of your own days.

My take

Money is stored freedom: every euro you keep is a small piece of your life you no longer have to sell.

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.

Bring me a challenge.
