With the rising cost of living in Toronto, I’ve been exploring different ways to manage my finances as I approach retirement. While I appreciate the peace of my daily routine, I can’t help but wonder if there’s a better way to stretch my savings or potentially achieve financial independence. I’ve heard a lot about the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement and the books that accompany it.
Has anyone read a FIRE book that really resonated with them? I’m particularly interested in hearing about any practical strategies that might suit someone who prefers a more relaxed lifestyle. Did you find the tips helpful, or did they seem too aggressive for a calm retirement? What are your thoughts on this?
