The Fire Movement and Why I Haven't Pursued It
The Fire (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement aims to achieve financial independence at an early age. While I have been exposed to the Fire movement through my book 'Digital Minimalism' and appearances on Fire-related podcasts, I have chosen not to pursue it personally. As a tenured professor and writer, I already have a high degree of flexibility and autonomy in my work. For example, I have the freedom to choose my research projects and work on my own schedule. Additionally, my writing success has further increased my flexibility and opportunities. Therefore, I have achieved many of the goals that the Fire movement seeks to attain, making it unnecessary for me to pursue it further.
