These “anonymous” bloggers aren’t really retiring. They’re quitting their jobs and monetizing their online content. They’re still working. Blogging is a job.
For me, the first big step was tracking my spending—I had no idea how much money was just disappearing until I started budgeting. Once I got that under control, I focused on maxing out my 401(k) and opening an investment account. FIRE feels way more achievable when you take it one step at a time!
My FIRE journey will be marrying rich at this point 😂 And the early part of that is starting to run out! I think this is a really good message to not just look at these things as something for somebody else. Why not you, me, us? Taking advantage of everything a job offers you, the retirement match, etc.
