The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement has gained popularity in the US, encouraging individuals to save diligently early in life to retire sooner. Although celebrated, it presents challenges, particularly in setting achievable financial goals. Within this movement, sub-groups like LeanFIRE, ChubbyFIRE, and FatFIRE differ significantly in their wealth and lifestyle aspirations. A recent Reddit discussion aims to clarify these distinctions, highlighting that LeanFIRE typically involves a frugal lifestyle on an income as low as $35,000 annually for those committed to minimizing expenses.
The FIRE movement encourages people to save aggressively early in life to achieve financial independence and enjoy an early retirement without work-related burdens.
There are various groups within the FIRE movement, such as LeanFIRE, ChubbyFIRE, and FatFIRE, each with distinct financial goals and lifestyle implications.
