The ‘FIRE’ movement - ‘Financial Independence, Retire Early’ - dates back to the 1990s and is very much in fashion today among people who want to build a nest egg that allows them to walk away from their career in their 50s, 40s, or even their 30s. Michael Houghton, a major proponent of the movement, explains his journey so far, the key ways to save, and how he built a family portfolio of €700,000 in seven years.
