Inspirational FIRE UK story
« on: June 28, 2023, 03:35:02 AM »
Mr Jade just came across this which we think is great -- felt it explained well the FIRE concept and what we're all up to with our particular version of FIRE.

Also interesting about the free Rebel Finance School they run.

That was a nice read, funny as we have had similar comments about our lifestyle from family and friends!

I like that she mentioned being on the same page and focused with her husband as I think this is a massive advantage and helps keep you on track, not sure what I would do if my wife didnt have the same outlook in life/FIRE!

Glad you enjoyed it Affable Bear. Yes, a lot of people just don't get it! :)

Yes, her mentioning being on the same page as her husband was important.. as you said, it is a massive advantage. Glad you have that with your wife too. I wasn't good with money when I met my husband but luckily we've grown together and it's such a big help!

That was an awesome article, thanks for posting.

It really seems like they've got a pretty awesome life and it's something to aspire to!

Will definitely have a look at the Rebel Finance School

Glad you liked it too Bombadil. Yeh, the RF school looks good. I really like how they've created it as a few product too.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
