F.I.R.E. Financial Independence Retire Early, with Dave from StrongMoneyAustralia.com

FIRE is a worldwide community of like-minded people, who share ideas and strategies on how to reach financial independence and retire early. 

Generally, this involves a combination of aggressive saving (up to 70% of their income), investing in shares or property, and cutting their cost of living. 

By doing this, they aim to quit their jobs, remove themselves from the rat race and live off investment income for the rest of their lives. 

Today’s Guest is Dave from Strong Money Australia, who retired at the age of 28 and now lives in Perth with his partner and their dog.
