Aussie Firebug is one of the biggest names in the Australian FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) community.
In today's episode of the podcast we catch up with Aussie Firebug, aka Matt, and unpack the past 10 years of his FIRE journey and what has changed along the way.
Tune in to hear:
- Why Matt originally decided to pursue FIRE and his original goals
- How we managed to save 70% of his after-tax income
- Why his views on FIRE started to change
- The investment strategy he pursued to build a $1.5m portfolio
- How he thinks about FIRE now
- Advice he would share to anyone starting out on FIRE today
Whatever your view on FIRE, this was a great conversation to hear how one ordinary Australian used investing in stocks and property to achieve financial freedom and give himself choice in his life.
