Can you achieve FIRE in India?
Yes, you can!
Firstly, you need to focus on your Savings Rate (SR). This means cutting back on unnecessary expenses and living below your means.
A high SR is key to achieving financial independence. (3/n)

There are two main types of IRAs:
Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs.
There are a few things to consider when deciding which to pick, this includes contribution limits, tax implications, and your specific financial situation and retirement goals.

Let's discuss:
Keep an eye on fees:
When investing in an IRA, it's important to keep an eye on fees such as annual expenses, trading fees & account maintenance fees.
These fees can eat into your investment returns over time, so it's worth comparing options and choosing an IRA with low fees.

One key difference between the two is how they are taxed.
Contributions to a Traditional IRA may be tax-deductible in the year they are made, depending on your income and whether or not you have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan.

Educational thread: Investment mistakes you can make in your 20s:
1. Not a having a plan: 20s is the perfect time to start thinking about finances. There are less responsibilities, expenditure and the scope of savings is huge. Now is the time to think long-term.
2. Not knowing what to do with your earnings: In this knowledge-driven world, there is no shortage of data needed for research kn investments. Find out the investment options, the risks associated and make an investment plan.
Educational thread: 6 Bad Financial Habits you should Avoid at all costs! Read and share:
1. Biting off more than you chew: While loans, credit cards ease your financial burden at the moment, piling them up is never a great idea. If this is your case, investing will be a distant dream.
2. Bad credit score: Most Indians are unaware of how credit scores are calculated. Even simple things like not paying bills, late payments can reflect adversely on your credit score. This can backfire in your future, if you apply for loans.

Jamila had no plans to make Journey to Launch (JTL) a business until a regular commute brought on an existential realization.
She and her husband Woody saved $169,000 in 2 years, with a growing family, so that she could leave her corporate job and focus on JTL full time.

Q: Why do you continue with a full time job when you've reached #financialindependence?
Answer below:

Answer below:
👇
First, I've reached FI only a few months ago. Yes, I had a buffer in my target number and felt FI only once I reached 105% of that "buffered" target.
Nonetheless, it's been a raging bull market and I'm aware that a deep correction can reduce my net worth to non-FI status.

Second, assuming market stays flat or goes up, my savings rate will get me to #financialfreedom in next few years.
By FF, I mean that I will have a fat(ter) emergency fund, enough saved up to go for a few dream vacations, plus some other life goals.

Have had many ask how much money is enough for (presumably early) #financialindependence in India. Is it 25x, 30x, or 40x of current annual expenses?
My opinion.

1/ The first thing we come across when researching financial independence is the 4% rule – 25x your current annual expenses saved = FI. Many early retirement bloggers also preach this so let’s dig into this a little bit.
2/ This is the result of the 1998 US-based Trinity University study which found that using a 4% withdrawal rate on a 75:25 stock:bond portfolio over 30 years had a success rate of 98%.
Let’s understand the assumptions therein.

Nothing worthwhile is achieved without mistakes. I’ve made my fair share on the path to #financialindependence

1/ When I first started investing, I didn’t have clear goals. I’d simply save up. While that’s not the worst thing, it meant my capital allocation was not in line with (then non existent) time-based goals and hence, I didn’t take enough risks for first 1-2 years.
2/ At one point, I probably had 30-40 different funds but without enough understanding of the underlying investment strategy, ideal investment horizon, risk, or tax implications. I was a sucker for NFOs. It took me over 12 years to prune my MF portfolio

It is a way of life in which people are caught up in a fiercely competitive struggle for wealth or power.

FIRE = Financial Independence Retire Early
Less than 1% people really understand the true meaning of financial independence. And even less than 1% (of that 1%) are capable of aspiring for it. And even less than 1% (of that 1% of that 1%) are capable of achieving it.
Started the new year by watching Playing With Fire documentary (@PlayWithFIRECo). Very well made with many nuggets of #FinancialFreedom wisdom which I'm putting down here as thread for handy reading. (1/n)
@PlayWithFIRECo It's more important to be rich than look rich because it allows you to focus on the things important in your life. (2/n)
@PlayWithFIRECo Spend lavishly on things that you care about, but cut back ruthlessly in other areas. Don't get swayed by society's expectations of what you should spend on. (3/n)
THREAD. Four years ago, my wife and I made the final payment on a collection of debts that were sizable. It took us 22 months of intense focus. It was, in retrospect, perhaps the most valuable thing we’ve ever done for our marriage. #DebtFree #TBT #babysteps #ThursdayMotivation
The vast majority of this debt was student loan debt, potentially dischargeable through public service debt forgiveness. When I began telling people that we had decided just to pay it all off, some people thought it crazy to NOT coast for ten years and then watch it go away.
In retrospect, I believe we made the right choice. My wife’s dealings with her loan servicer were a regular pain. Payments were often not applied correctly, and even as we were making double/triple payments, dealing with them was a regular annoyance.
THREAD: Financial Independence:Retire Early (FI:RE) Series Part 1a. Understanding Money: PERCEIVED vs. ACTUAL value. #FIRE #FinancialLiteracy #FinancialIndependence #RetireEarly #TayoOyedeji
Formula 1. FI:RE is not about Money. But you need to understand money to attain FI:RE.
Money is:
1. A means of exchange for PERCEIVED value.
2. A store of ACTUAL value.
Understanding the dichotomy between PERCEIVED and ACTUAL value is the key to FI:RE.
