About Live FIRE Better
Reading through the pages of the online FIRE community’s most successful author-entrepreneurs, one might have the sense that FIRE is similar to Disney World: a perpetually happy destination to be reached. There, you'll find pictures of happy children (usually the author’s and with a good financial rationale!), boats, real estate, palm trees or ski trips, and any number of other diversions reflective of traditional joy. FIRE appears to be liberation. Pre-FIRE life seems burdensome.
However, not everyone experiences FIRE as a life of boundless potential.
FIRE, for all of the freedom it brings, creates new limitations and challenges. Many FIREees experience isolation and loneliness. Their closest friends and family may not understand why they aren't thrilled with lives of permanent recreation. Then, they find that many recreation and employment options are unavailable to those not living the traditional 9-5 working life. It’s really not difficult to see why many FIREees soon yearn to return to lives with more structure and restriction.
For those of you who haven’t found FIRE to be as liberating as was promised, we offer you Live FIRE Better. Here, we’ll discuss ways that you can enrich your life post-FIRE (and ways you can start building that life pre-FIRE). We offer articles, blog posts, podcasting, products and services, and personalized coaching.
We hope you find something here that helps you live a better life before and after FIRE.
