So another one I saw because FIRE does get a bit of a rap because people are like, oh, well, I don't want to retire early.

Yeah.

I think it's, so FIRE, FIOR, Financial Independence Optional Retirement.

But I mean, the concept of financial independence, you've got the option to retire early if you so choose.

Yeah.

So back before the FIRE movement, back in my day, all of three years ago, before this was an actual thing that people wrote in their blogs, it was just called financial independence.

Yeah.

People were just going around, setting goals, becoming financially independent and not really talking about it.

Yeah, that's it.

But now they do.

And that's a wonderful thing.

I mean, there are worse things in the world to blog and to write about.

So this is a good thing, I guess.

Yeah.

And I think it does.

It's a really interesting goal because having this one goal becomes a lot and a lot of mini goals because you start learning about your budget.

You start learning about investing.

You start learning how to control your spending a little bit and cut back in areas that aren't important to you.

And you learn more.

a lot about yourself and your attitude towards money.
