- Advertisement -spot_imgspot_img

It is a Brand…New…Day! Starting today you can make changes in your life that will allow you to find financial independence and retire early. How is this possible? By following the new trend that was established by older millennials known as Fire Movement. FIRE stands for financial independence retire early. What is the basic strategy behind FIRE? Although simple, it takes a lot of effort and constant maintenance, save aggressively and as much as possible now.

To begin with, find ways to increase your income and decrease your expenses. Save, save, save! Find areas in your life where you are spending unnecessarily and places those funds towards saving.

Planning is essential. Each month make a budget and do not overspend. Track your expenses each month or each week if it helps you better control your finances. Try to follow the simple 80/10/10 rule where 10% of your monthly income goes to savings, 10% is for tithe, and 80% is spent on everything else.

Perhaps you can start by simply putting aside $5 every week and then increasing that number as you go. The point is you must find a way to start saving and start now! Get educated on ways you can cut spending and maximize savings. Also, don’t forget to invest as soon as possible in a 401k, IRA, mutual fund, stocks, or bonds. Let your money sit, and watch it accumulate over time.

FIRE Principles:

  • Save as much as possible each month
  • Don’t spend more than you earn
  • Cut Down/Eradicate Debt
  • Learn Financial Strategy
  • Find a side hustle
  • Invest

Mira Cassidy is an Indianapolis author, journalist, and motivational speaker who from a young age found peace and serenity in writing. A love for the art form blossomed in 2015 when she went back to complete her degree after an eleven-year hiatus. There she took additional English and creative writing courses. During those semesters the depth of her creativity was unlocked, and she produced some of her first short stories and additional poems. As a teen she received the opportunity to continue her studies in Telecommunications via the local Youth Video Institute where she developed a foundation in video production, directing, editing, and journalism. This experience allowed her to interview and meet many individuals from different walks of life including a very young Nick Cannon, David Hollister, and Suzanne Taylor. Today, Mira is a very busy and devoted mother of three. She uses her voice to raise awareness to the pain and suffering caused by domestic violence, adverse childhood experiences, and destructive cycles. Also, she advocates for more funding and focus to be brought into area schools to service children who are exceptional learners.
