Seven stops to the exit.
There's a lot at the exit now — the essays, ten tools, a country atlas, a glossary, a proper guide. If you've just arrived, this is the order I'd walk it in: the story, the sums, your own numbers, then your country's rules. Skip anything you already know.
My story
Who's talking, first. Rat race to retired at 34 — what it cost, what it bought, and why none of this is advice.
The number
The sums behind my exit: price the life, thirty times spending, and why I count 3.33%, not 4. Everything else here builds on this.
The Exit Calculator
Your turn: numbers in, distance out — how far your exit is, and the coast point on the way. It runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere.
FIRE in Europe
What your country does to your number: the taxes that move it, the housing, the way in — 34 countries, each dated and checked against official sources.
The European FIRE guide
The system, rebuilt for this side of the Atlantic — UCITS funds, wealth taxes, exit taxes, and a state pension decades away. Free, no paywall.
The Blank Page
The half no calculator does: what the freedom is actually for. Worth answering before the money, not after.
