  • What Is FIRE? Can Women Achieve It? 🔥👩‍🦰

    FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. It’s the idea of saving and investing in such a way that you no longer have to depend on a job or others to meet your needs — much earlier than the traditional retirement age of 60.

    • 🔹 What Does FIRE Actually Mean?

      FIRE doesn’t mean sitting idle at 40. It means:

      • ✅ You have enough money saved and invested to cover your expenses
      • ✅ You work by choice, not by compulsion
      • ✅ You’re free from money stress, boss stress, and approval-seeking

      Think of it as buying freedom with money — not luxury. 🧘‍♀️

    • 🔹 Why FIRE Matters for Women

      Women often have career breaks, income gaps, and family responsibilities. Yet we live longer and often depend on others financially. FIRE gives back control — even to those not earning today.
