F.I.R.E.

A personal finance discussion is drawing attention to the story of a former Apple employee who reportedly began his career on a salary of ₹3,000 a month and retired at 47, now living off passive income of around ₹24 lakh per year. The case is being presented as an example of the F.I.R.E. movement — Financial Independence, Retire Early — showing how aggressive saving and investing can allow early retirement even for salaried workers.
