PBS NewsHour on FIRE

Mr. Money Moustache aka Pete Adeney, financial independence pioneer

This video is about the FIRE movement, which stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. It follows people who are able to retire early in their 30s by following this movement.



The FIRE movement is about saving a significant amount of money by cutting out unnecessary expenses. People following FIRE invest their savings and avoid debt. They buy groceries at thrift stores, ride bikes instead of driving, and rarely eat out.

The video features multiple couples who were able to retire early through FIRE. They all agree that it was difficult at first to cut back on spending, but they are now grateful for the freedom that comes with not having to work. The FIRE movement is not just about retiring early, but about living a happy and fulfilling life on less money.
