About FIRE Tools Kit

FIRE Tools Kit is an educational publication about the ideas and assumptions behind financial independence planning.

Our focus

Our subject areas include saving habits, everyday spending, time horizons, and long-term planning. The aim is to make financial concepts easier to understand, with clear distinctions between an example, an assumption, and a result.

Resources with clear attribution

Our resources page links to educational worksheets and calculators from public agencies. Those resources are provided by the named organizations, rather than by FIRE Tools Kit.

How to use the site

Treat educational examples as starting points for questions, rather than individualized investment recommendations. Check the source and assumptions of a tool before interpreting its output.
