Financial Independence (FIRE) in Switzerland

The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement is gaining popularity in Switzerland, but it is often misunderstood. In this category, I explain the basics of FIRE as they apply to Switzerland, how to set your goal (FIRE number), and what steps to take to make real progress. You'll find my progress journal, inspiring reader testimonials, and practical thoughts on long-term motivation. The goal: to show you that financial independence is truly possible in Switzerland.
