My name is Alan, I am 40 years old and I never have to work again if I don't want to. The question is how do I know?  How do I know I never have to work again?  How do you know when enough money is enough money?  Do you have a target for how much you are working to save for retirement? Do you have a goal? A figure? Are you just working for the sake of working??? 

The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement started in the USA.  That is where all the biggest bloggers and podcasters live and where a lot of the FIRE Community is based. But just because all the blogs write about 401ks, Roths and other American terms doesn't mean that there isn't anything going on in the United Kingdom!
