With the market down over 20% and inflation at 40-year highs, is FIRE still possible in 2022? If it is, what does it take to become financially independent and retire early?

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The truth about the FIRE Movement
- If the FIRE Movement is still possible
- What is helpful in the FIRE journey
- How to figure out your WHY
