FIRE movement: Who wants to become financially free should pay attention to these six points
On the way 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, where Rob worked as a freelance software developer and Emma worked in a large IT company, earning around €6,000 per month. The couple invested in rental properties, initially buying a small apartment in Stuttgart in 2009 for around €100,000, and later acquired five more properties, allowing them to become financially free by their mid-30s.
They now live in Temeswar, Romania, with their two children, and are part of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement.
