About

We, Mr and Ms FIwithme, are a couple in our early 30s living in Melbourne.

We’re pursuing financial independence for the sake of freedom and philanthropy. Freedom to work as we choose, and freedom to make meaningful monetary and time donations to good causes.

At this point in time we’re more keen on the ‘financial independence’ than ‘retiring early’ part of FIRE (we’re both passionate about our work), but it’s always good to have options!

This website is written primarily by Mr Fiwithme, but we may have a cameo appearance from Ms Fiwithme from time to time.

We’ve been inspired on our path to FIRE by fellow Aussie FIRE bloggers such as Aussie Firebug, Dave at Strong Money Australia, Pat the Shuffler, and Carpe Dividendum. Along with US FIRE bloggers Mr. Money Mustache, and The Mad Fientist.

Good luck on your own journey to FIRE, and feel free to get in touch at any time via mrfiwithme@gmail.com 🙂

In case you haven’t heard it before. Here’s Frank Sinatra singing the song that was the inspiration for this blog’s name!
