What does FIRE mean?


financial indepenedence, retire early. frontload all your money making and then reach a point where you can statistically expect to die on the day you reach 0 money left.


That second part isn't a requirement. Fire doesn't require you to spend all your money, and indeed, that's generally a bad idea...
