What is Money Flamingo all about?
Money Flamingo is an Australian personal finance and lifestyle blog. We discuss FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) and alternative strategies to get there – like Coast FI, Flamingo FI, Semi-Retirement and Barista FI. We also have a popular Semi-FI calculator that you can download for free to figure out how soon you could claim your freedom back.
We talk a lot about finance-related lifestyle topics like intentional living, minimalism, lifestyle design, self-development and the importance of developing a good money mindset.
This is not your standard finance blog – we are all about designing a happy, intentional life so you can reap the rewards of your financial success. 🙂
