About Families on FIRE
A couple in their early 50s who have recently reached FI, share their experiences of achieving (a mostly accidental) financial independence with six children in tow.
Reflections on what we did before and after discovering FIRE, what we might do if we were newly starting our journey, and our plans for the future - to inspire and encourage our youngsters to embrace the values of FIRE.
