summary

This article features an interview with Vicki Robin, the author of the book 'Your Money Or Your Life', who discusses the concept of financial independence and early retirement. Robin explains the 'FIRE' (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement and the principles behind it, which involve saving and investing a significant portion of one's income in order to achieve financial freedom. She discusses the mindset shifts necessary to pursue early retirement, such as reevaluating one's spending habits and focusing on value rather than possessions. Robin emphasizes that financial independence isn't about quitting work entirely, but rather creating the freedom to pursue meaningful and fulfilling work. She also addresses some common misconceptions and challenges associated with the FIRE movement.
