About Coast to FIRE

Coast to FIRE is an educational publication about financial independence, intentional spending, and building a life that fits your priorities.

Our purpose

Our editorial focus is on understanding saving, spending, and long-term planning without treating financial independence as a promise or a single lifestyle everyone should follow.

The site explores the questions and assumptions behind a financial plan. Different incomes, household responsibilities, time horizons, and goals can lead to different choices.

What you will find here

Editorial scope

Coast to FIRE provides general education rather than personal financial advice or coaching. Content should distinguish assumptions and examples from observed results. Sources and limitations should be clear so readers can assess the information.
