Why would anyone pursue FIRE (financial independence and retire early)? For me, it was different circumstances that brought financial independence on
my path.
Being (financially) independent gives me the sense of freedom that I can make my own decisions, do whatever I want to do, and choose between good and better!
I considered myself very lucky to be in this kind of position with little to no lifestyle inflation compared to when I was studying. With my current savings rate, I expect to retire in 10 years .
