What is FIRE, and what are the trade-offs?

FIRE stands for financial independence, retire early. The idea is to save a large share of your income in low-cost, diversified investments until they could cover your spending. The trade-offs are real: years of tight spending, market risk, rising health and living costs, and plans that rely on assumptions rather than promises.

How do I use RepeatWatch to study FIRE?

Start with the explainers, then the withdrawal-rate videos. A–B loop the part that explains the 4% rule and why it is a rough guide, not a guarantee. Slow to 0.75× to note the assumptions, and save each milestone of your own plan on keys 1–9.
