FIRE movement: Who wants to become financially free should pay attention to these six points
On the path to financial independence, a lot can go wrong. A couple who retired early reveals how to avoid the biggest pitfalls - and fulfill the dream of early retirement.
A Romanian man named Rob and a Scottish woman named Emma have achieved financial independence since 2015. They met while studying in Stuttgart, and after working as a freelance software developer and in an IT company, they started investing in real estate, initially buying a small apartment in Stuttgart for €100,000. The couple, who now live in Temeswar, Romania, with their two children, are part of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, which aims to save and invest aggressively to retire early.
To achieve financial freedom, they stress the importance of having a sufficient safety net, realistic calculations of living costs, and consideration of inflation.
