Retiring early sounds like the dream, but is it actually realistic? Or even worth striving for? The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement is no doubt one of the most popular financial movements of the past decade, and we think there have been some great lessons out of it. But there are some elements to it that we think don't stack up. So strap in for some hot takes, this is bound to be a devisive epsiode.

We break down:

What the FIRE movement is (and how it works)
3 things we love about the Financial Independce Retire Early movement
The hard truths - 3 parts of FIRE we don’t agree with
A realistic look at early retirement in Australia in 2025
