What Is FIRE?

FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. The goal is to accumulate enough invested assets that the passive income they generate covers your living expenses — freeing you from the need to work.

The classic FIRE number is 25x your annual expenses, based on the 4% rule — a theoretical model derived from historical market data, not a guarantee. Real-world returns vary, so treat this figure as an illustrative starting point rather than financial advice.

For most Europeans, FIRE is not about never working again — it is about having the freedom to choose. To take a lower-paying job you love, retire a decade early, or simply have a safety net large enough that work becomes optional.
