FIRE is a wonderful concept, but health is wealth as well... I am a wholehearted FIRE ambassador myself and fully believe the concept is something for everyone. Also, there are 50 shades of FIRE. There's LEAN FIRE, FAT FIRE, COAST FIRE, to each his/ her own FIRE! The whole point of FIRE should be to rid yourself from financial burdens and use what you have to design your dream life. The less you need, the easier it gets to achieve. Great story, loved it and I'm looking forward to reading more about Ian.
