The Dark Truth of Financial Independence...

We reached financial independence and have been retired for more than three years. And we talk a lot on our channel about how great FIRE is! But, there are some dark sides to FIRE also - things you don’t hear people discussing. So, to better prepare you on your FIRE journey, and to help you better plan for some of the dark side of FIRE, we decided to make a video for you! In this video, we discuss the dark sides of FIRE (i.e., the lesser-discussed realities of the FIRE movement)!
