Our journey towards financial independence – learning to navigate the French system
Is it possible to move from the UK to France and retire early?
About us
Welcome to our new blog! Our aim is to share our questions and discoveries with you as we attempt to build a path towards financial independence and figure out the best ways to achieve this in our new country, France.
We are a couple in our thirties, who have come upon the concept of FIRE relatively late. Our goal is to optimize personal finances and build passive income from investments and other sources so that work can become optional within about the the next 10-15 years.
We hope that by writing about our experiences we can be a source of information to help others find their own path, and maybe save you a bit or research time! We are also very keen to connect with others in this community and learn from you all. If you want to find out more, see the Start Here page for an overview, or go directly to the posts
