I was wrong about the FIRE movement \[Khe Hy\]

2025/4/3

The economy is broken and everything is going to sh*t. That’s the current narrative. But I attended a FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) conference and discovered a thriving community completely defying this narrative. These professionals, not bankers or FANG engineers were nurses, teachers, IT managers. They save aggressively, embrace frugality without suffering, and build very intentional lives. [Episode 96]
