The Simple Math Behind FIRE (You CAN Retire Early)

Protect your rental properties with an LLC from Corporate Direct: https://corporatedirect.com/biggerpockets/

The FIRE movement (financial independence, retire early) has become more and more popular in the past few years, so what exactly is it? With many Americans feeling burnt out at their jobs, searching for ways to live how they want without being chained to a desk all day, the FIRE movement was born. With strict saving, limited spending, and an emphasis on dramatically increasing income, FIRE chasers seek to retire early as fast as they can…but that doesn’t mean YOU need to.

Mindy Jensen, host of the “BiggerPockets Money” podcast, has reached financial independence, but loves her job so much that she still works! And, she’s got a message for you: whether you’re thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty, you can STILL retire on your timeline IF you’re willing to put in the work. Using a basic financial rule of thumb, you’ll know EXACTLY how much money you need to reach early retirement. What’s the quick calculation? Stick around; we’re sharing it all with you!
