FI, Not FIRE

This podcast episode explores the concept of Financial Independence (FI) and the FIRE (financially independent retire early) movement.

Each type is explained, providing examples and key characteristics. It also discusses strategies for achieving FI during challenging economic times, such as upskilling, negotiating for higher pay, and exploring remote work options. The episode emphasizes that the FI movement and the work-from-home trend have made FI more accessible to a wider range of people.
