I love the idea of FIRE as a life goal and driving financial strategy. The core principal is you save enough money up that the dividends from your investment returns (the FI part of FIRE) is enough to live off forever.

If you hit FIRE, awesome, you’re free from ever caring about offshoring or RTO or AI or whatever again.

If you don’t hit it, you’re sitting on a pile of money when a rainy day comes.
