This sidebar is a work in progress.

Financial independence is having enough money in passive income to not have to work if you don't want to, often times with the goal of retiring early, which is retirement before traditional retirement ages.

The basic core of FIRE: spend less than you earn, earn more if you can, and invest in long-term sustainable ways (most would opt for passive low-fee index funds).
