My FIRE Toolbox
My discovery of FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) came from reading through copious amounts of online content and clicking from site to site. To get you started I have listed below some of my favourite FIRE resources from around the web (which I will add to regularly) below. Although a huge amount of these resources are coming out of America (where the FIRE movement is much bigger), there are some fantastic resources starting to appear in Australia which is amazing to see!
