    Beginner’s Guide To The F.I.R.E Movement (Financial independence retire early)

    I always knew that I wanted to become financially independent, but since a few years I prefer to retire earlier. The older I get, the higher the AOW retirement age. I should only now be able to retire at the age of 73 .. And yes, I have always strived to only do nice work, so I love my job, but I can also imagine that at some point I want more ‘ life’. Of course I lived as a digital nomad for a while by traveling and doing business while traveling, but at a certain point I was looking for more stability. A house, routine, and greater goal to work towards. Building my business. Settle down. The Great Things Of Life. And so with early retirement to feel completely free. I am now often dependent on the evenings or weekends, taking vacation and planning and the feeling of being completely free is wonderful. Because fair is fair. Even when I’m free, I still think about my company and post on social media “because of the algorithm I have to.”

This is a movement that capitalizes on putting aside as much money as possible to be independent. And yes, I strive for that too. I started a few years ago with a plan that I still follow. And I’ve never written about it on my blog so it’s about time! My FIRE plan looks something like this:
