Watch: Accelerated savings | Life Hacks
The FIRE movement stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. It was a movement that started back in the early '90s.
The task of the FIRE saving plan is to invest and save aggressively anywhere from 60% to 70% of your income so you can retire in your mid-30s or 40s. We sat down with Jay Bass, VP of Finance at Rise Advisors, to break down the FIRE saving method and why it’s important to save aggressively.

Bass also highlights that financial independence is not all about being wealthy. It’s about understanding what you need to have enough to retire.
