$FIRE

FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early — a lifestyle movement dedicated to extreme savings and investment that allows people to retire far earlier than traditional budgets would permit.

The philosophy is simple: reduce expenses, maximize income, invest aggressively. FIRE followers typically aim to save 50-70% of their income, building a nest egg that generates enough passive income to cover living expenses indefinitely.

The magic number? 25x your annual expenses. Hit that, and you can theoretically live off 4% withdrawals forever. Some chase "Lean FIRE" (minimalist living), others "Fat FIRE" (retire in luxury). All share one goal: escape the 9-to-5 grind.

Born in the 1992 book "Your Money or Your Life" and supercharged by internet communities, FIRE has grown from fringe idea to global movement. Now it burns on-chain. Every token burned brings us closer to financial freedom.
