Enrol in How to become FIRE: financially independent and retiring early

FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early: building up enough wealth that work becomes a choice. In this course you learn what FIRE really means, how to calculate your FIRE number, how to raise your savings rate with a budget that suits you, which investment principles belong to it, and how to prepare safely for stopping work early. You work out your own achievable version, at a high, middle or low income. The course is designed to be universal: you learn the principles and look up the rules of your own country. The course informs and does not give investment advice. Each lesson has four tabs: lesson, practice, exercises and deep dive.

Frequently asked questions

When do I get access?

As soon as your payment is confirmed, your account immediately gets access to the lessons and tools. You also receive a confirmation by email.

Can I cancel my enrolment?

That depends on the type of course and whether you have already started. Everything is in our general terms of sale.

I am ordering as a business or from abroad. How does VAT work?

Private customers in Belgium and the EU pay the listed price, including 21% VAT. A Belgian business enters its company number: the price then excludes VAT and we add 21% VAT. A business in another EU country enters its VAT number: VAT is reverse-charged and you pay the price without VAT. Outside the EU, we charge no Belgian VAT. Businesses receive an invoice in their company’s name.
