What would it take to reach a point where working becomes a choice rather than a necessity? FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is a global movement built around a simple idea: spend less than you earn, invest consistently, and build enough financial independence to have greater freedom over your time. In this introductory session, Len shares the principles behind FIRE and his own experience of reaching financial independence and retiring in his 30s. Topics include: * What FIRE means and why people pursue it * Increasing income and building a high savings rate * Frugality and long term financial goals * Diversified index funds and Len’s approach to investing * Staying invested through market downturns * The 4% rule and your “FIRE number” * FIRE lifestyles, from Lean FIRE to Fat FIRE * What financial independence might look like in a lower cost city like Da Nang The talk will be followed by an open Q&A and discussion, with room to ask questions, challenge ideas, and share your own experiences. If you’re working toward financial independence, curious about personal finance and investing, or wondering how some people leave the traditional workforce decades early, this is an accessible introduction to FIRE. Please note: This is a community education and discussion event, not financial advice. Len is not a financial advisor. The strategies and examples discussed reflect general principles and personal experience, so please do your own research before making financial decisions.
