r/EuropeFIRE↗

financial independence/retire early in Europe

This sub is about reaching financial independence (FI) in Europe before age 60, which means that working is no longer a financial necessity. FI is achieved by accumulating sufficient invested capital, the returns of which finance life into old age - though fixed pensions may complement it later for sufficient long-term safe withdrawal rates. This sub welcomes discussions about any spending level from PovertyFIRE up to FatFIRE as long as it is fully supported by capital returns.
