The most important number in the fire journey is savings rate. Our savings rate in May was 73% & YTD is 52%. 🚀📈
The gold standard is 50% target. If you are driving to retire and become #financiallyindependent, start focusing on #savingsrate and see how fast everything accelerates. #fire #retire

If you are in debt, once you establish a savings rate, you will actually use that “savings” to pay down your debt first. Once your debt is paid off, now that money can be used to save and invest. This is the starting of the road towards financial independence. #fire #debt #debtfree
