A few years ago, Shay Weiss set a goal for himself to become financially independent and to position himself for an early retirement (FIRE).

A big part of that was learning and absorbing a lot of information:

• Reading a lot of books about finances/investing (A Random Walk Down Wall Street, Early Retirement Extreme, The Millionaire Next Door, etc.)
• Reading a lot blogs / listening to a lot of podcasts (Mr. Money Mustache, JL Collins, The Mad Fientist)
• Keeping up with the discourse on the personal finance and FIRE communities of Reddit

In this presentation, Shay will present a concise and synthesized version of the learnings and insights that I've accumulated in this process, talk about motivation, show some nifty graphs, share some anecdotes and personal successes/failures, and point you in the direction of the materials that he found most useful.
