Is the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement truly the golden ticket to freedom—or just another financial fad?

In this episode of the Wealth Wise Woman Podcast, I challenge the mainstream narrative around FIRE. While the dream of retiring at 35 sounds incredible, the math doesn’t always add up. From unrealistic savings goals to the emotional toll of isolation and identity loss, this deep dive explores the side of FIRE few are talking about.

I’m not here to bash FIRE entirely—it has its merits. But most people need a more flexible, balanced approach to building wealth that works with real-life responsibilities, unexpected challenges, and long-term peace of mind.
