Comments by "pongop" (@pongop) on "The Truth About FIRE - Is Early Retirement Actually Possible?" video.

  1. Thanks for this informative and balanced overview of the FIRE movement! I don't think I'll achieve it, but the idea of FIRE and channels like Our Rich Journey have inspired and motivated me to start working toward retirement in general and to pursue financial education, saving, and investing. Like The Plain Bagel video said, the ideas, strategies, and tips from the FIRE movement can be generally helpful and useful to everyone with regards to financial literacy, money management, making, saving, and investment money, and retirement. I appreciate what this video added to the conversation.

  5.  @beatricerights  Interesting points. I agree and disagree. In my understanding, FIRE means you retire from your 9-5 job and work becomes optional. They are retired from their 9-5 jobs they choose to work on what they enjoy doing to increase their wealth further. But I could be wrong or maybe they're not fully transparent. You make a good point about retirement meaning not working. And you may be right about the FIRE movement being used as clickbait now.
