  "account": "Vicki Robin, the co-author of the best-selling \"Your Money or Your Life,\" is widely regarded as a spiritual pioneer of the FIRE movement. First published in 1992, the book has sold nearly two million copies. The authors aimed to change how Americans think about money, consumption, and saving. Joe Dominguez, Robin's co-author, became financially independent at 30 by living off his investment income. They met and began giving seminars on money, consumption, life purpose, and financial independence. The seminars were so popular that they were later recorded on cassette tapes. \"Your Money or Your Life\" is not a stock market guide, but rather a lifestyle manifesto focused on reducing consumption, increasing savings, and achieving financial independence. The book emphasizes finding contentment with a lower standard of living and asks whether purchases bring happiness, align with personal values, and lead to desired outcomes. The FIRE movement advocates for frugal living, low expenses, and a high savings rate to achieve financial independence as early as possible.",
  "summary": "US-Autorin Vicki Robin gilt als geistige Vordenkerin der FIRE-Bewegung. Wie es ihr gelang, schon früh finanziell unabhängig zu werden – und warum sie die Frugalisten-Szene heute kritisch sieht.",
