FIRE ME Today

FIRE ME Today is a play on words. FIRE = Financial Independence, Retire Early. ME = Made Easy. Today = Today. My specific posts, thoughts, book recommendations, blogs, podcasts, etc. are my resources to help you own your journey to Financial Independence. I focus more on the ability to retire with dignity than retiring early. I hope to share ideas and strategies to help you on your journey and to help you realize that the rat race isn’t normal. The greatest myth ever told is that you “need money to make money.” NO! You need time. It is your greatest asset. You can achieve financial security regardless of income level… as long as you are willing to learn and put in the effort.
