10 Tips for the Chronic Illness Warrior: How to Achieve Financial Freedom with FIRE

Financial freedom may seem like a lofty goal, especially for a chronic illness warrior (i.e. someone that lives with a chronic illness). However, gaining financial freedom via the FIRE method holds immense and rising appeal.

After all, why wouldn’t you want to spend more time doing the things that bring you joy? You could spend more of your time enjoying the company of your loved ones, choose to work (or not) and live a more stress-free life.
