When the Dream Became a Trap
A ten-year career, luxury cars, weekend getaways to Vegas, boat club memberships-Scott and Taylor Rieckens had built the life everyone said they should want. Yet beneath the Instagram-perfect surface, something gnawed at them. Despite solid incomes, they lived paycheck to paycheck. Daycare consumed most of Taylor's salary. Their San Diego neighborhood demanded million-dollar homes they couldn't afford. Then, stuck in traffic one February morning in 2017, Scott heard something that changed everything: a man who retired at 30 by spending less and investing the difference. The FIRE movement-Financial Independence, Retire Early-promised freedom not through earning more, but needing less. The math was elegant: save 25 times your annual expenses, invest it wisely, and live off the returns forever. Someone spending $40,000 yearly needed $1 million invested. Suddenly, Scott's million-dollar idea wasn't a startup-it was escaping the work-spend cycle entirely.
