Within the FIRE movement are several variations. Fat FIRE attempts to save more while giving up less. Lean FIRE requires devotion to minimalist living. Barista FIRE is for those who want to quit the 9-to-5 rat race and are willing to cut back their spending while working only part-time.
The Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement offers an alternative approach to traditional retirement planning. Instead of aiming to retire at 65, many FIRE participants target an earlier retirement age. Others plan to stay in the workforce but hope to achieve financial independence, which means depending less on a regular paycheck from a full-time job.
For most foreigners, Japan is the change they need in their lives — a unique place filled with brand-new experiences, a beautiful culture, and untouched nature — a perfect recipe to enjoy your next chapter in life. One reason to retire to Japan is the country’s safety. I delved deep into this topic in my post on “Is Japan safe?”, and it’s safe to surmise that Japan is one of the safest countries in the world.
For many non-Japanese, Japan is one of the most sought-after destinations for retirement. This may be largely due to the reasons I explained at the last blog, it’s also because of the country’s healthcare system.
All in all, Japan is a great destination for Non- Japanese retiring in Japan, as they’ll get to enjoy an overall easier life with good healthcare always within reach, beautiful nature boasting lush, green forests, and serene beaches just around the corner. What more could you really want?
