One of the most common questions we hear in the Irish FIRE community is: How do I get my partner on board?”

But what if that’s the wrong question?

Because FIRE isn’t just about spreadsheets, savings rates, or optimising your investments.

It’s about real life - relationships, stress, trade-offs, and the invisible load that often goes unspoken.

In this special session, Anne explores the reality of FIRE from a woman’s perspective:

  • What happens when you go from never discussing money... to tracking every euro
  • The hidden mental load and decision fatigue that can come with “optimising everything”
  • Why financial decisions aren’t always experienced equally in a household
  • The emotional side of saving money - from saying “no” to kids, to carrying the day-to-day burden
  • How career breaks, childcare, and eldercare impact women’s ability to pursue FIRE

And why, despite all of this FIRE is actually more important for women than men

Whether you're deep into FIRE or just starting out, this session will challenge how you think about money, partnership, and what financial independence really means.
Join us for an honest, relatable, and much-needed discussion.
