Our Mission
We believe everyone deserves the freedom to choose how they spend their time. Financial independence isn't just for the wealthy — it's achievable for anyone willing to plan strategically and stay consistent.
But First Fire was created to demystify the path to FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early). We provide free, powerful tools that help you visualize your financial future, track your progress, and make smarter decisions about your money.
"The goal isn't to be rich — it's to have options. Financial independence gives you the freedom to work because you want to, not because you have to."
