What the fire movement can teach you about money, no matter when you want to retire.

Brian, I am so excited to talk about this because fire movement gets a lot of press.

Some of it's positive, some of it's negative.

And rather than speaking to the merits of fire or whether you should do it or how you should do it,

I think that there are lessons that everyone can learn from some very important things

that fire movement participants and proponents have figured out thus far in their journey.

I like to think, you know, we live here in Nashville, which is the Music City.

And one of the cool things when you hang out with professional musicians is that they can play any song and any key and just change a few variables and it changes the numbers.

But it still works out.

I like to think that we're going to be that tour guide today.

We are the Nashville musicians of the financial world.

We're going to tickle the keys of the financial independence retire early movement.

That's exactly right.

For those of you that are not familiar with what the fire movement is, that's exactly what it is.

It's financial independence retire early.

It's this idea that there are things that I can do.

There are ways I can influence my financial situation that I can reach the end goal that most people want

to reach, but I can do it more quickly than others. And what we want to do is we want to take

some of those lessons and tactics that fire movement proponents have used and figure out how

can we apply that to our financial lives so that we also can do money better. I'll lean into the things I really love about this because that financial independence

is a very valuable thing because the first thing, I love the thought of you owning your time

that much sooner.
