The fire movement. What is it? Who's doing it? Should I do it? Is it good or bad?

How do I do it? All that and more on today's money guy.

It's Brian Preston, the money guy.

Restoring order to your financial chaos. Retirement.

Investing. Taxing. You've got financial questions. He's got financial answers. It's Brian Preston, the money guy.

I got to stop giving Brian such a hard time because that's actually a lot harder than it looks.

I wasn't planning on like having an issue with it, but I kind of got froze up and nervous and should I redo?

Is there okay? Okay, Morph says it's okay. Well because we're live before if you're on YouTube watching and so there's not really like a warmup

period because there's a little bit of chatter before the show. That's right. And so you kind of hit the five four countdown thing and then you just have to go.

You know, we have a really unique thing going on with Gabe at our office and kind of the way that he is sort of evolved in terms of

working as a advisor of our firm and sort of a specialty that he has. So why don't I step out and why don't I let Gabe answer a question and talk through something we've been dealing with a lot over the past couple years.

Yeah, definitely growing in popularity this whole movement, right. This whole fire thing. So today just kind of trying to talk you through what it is, what it looks like.

Things you should think about if it's something you're interested in and a step she need to be taking now to get prepared.

Yeah, I think what's really interesting to me and what was hard is if you go out there and do any sort of googling on the fire movement, there are just tombs of information.

And no one does it the same. No one defines it the same. So we tried to distill it down to six things and I had to give myself a sticky note because we started doing the notes and in true money guy fashion our notes went from one page to two, two pages to four, four pages to eight.

And so we said, okay, well, we got to figure out how we can distill this whole thing down to make it useful to not only folks in the fire movement folks who know about it,
