If you’re working towards Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE), a question may have crossed your mind: is it easier to reach FIRE as a single person, or as a couple? Unsurprisingly, people within the FIRE community have been debating this one for a long time. And depending on who you ask, you’ll likely receive a different answer.

At the end of the day, both singles and couples are equally capable of reaching FIRE. But as a thought exercise, Dave and Hayden have set out to compare the two categories. They do this by measuring both groups across income, spending, investing, and practical/psychological considerations. They also offer some ideas for how both groups can succeed, and share their own personal experiences.

Enjoy, and as always, feel free to share any questions!
