The FIRE Movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is Lying to You

<p>I'm all FIRE'd up!</p> <p>FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is a movement that is all about making and saving enough money at an "early" age so that you can live off your investments for the rest of your life.</p> <p>I'll be honest that I've thought about this subject a lot.  In fact, I quit my job in 2011 (in my early 30s) and have been building online businesses ever since.</p> <p>I <a href= "https://www.nichepursuits.com/how-i-sold-my-software-company/">sold my software company</a> a few years ago for 7 figures and have had some other successful ventures.  </p> <p>I've thought, "I might be able to just stop working and live on what I've saved for the rest of my life".</p> <p>I wanted to see what others have been able to achieve and see if this FIRE lifestyle was something I should pursue.</p> <p>However, the more I researched the bloggers and influencers that say they have "retired early" thanks to their savings, the more I got annoyed.</p> <p>And even a little upset!</p> <p>Today, I want to share my thoughts on the FIRE Movement and why I think most of the influencers are lying to you. </p>
