The Good Financial Cents Show w/ Jeff Rose, CFP®

Many people are familiar with the ‘FIRE’ movement. Fire stands for:

 

Financially

Independent

Retire

Early

 

If you are a FIRE advocate, you are saving large amount of your income - 30, 40 or 50% (or greater). People on the outside can’t understand how you can save so much.

 

If you have a hard time understanding how someone could save 50% of their income, imagine someone giving half of their income away!

 

I’m doing to introduce you to Bob Lotich who is giving away 44% of his income.  He has given away over a million dollars by the time he turned 40.
