Money Flamingo is a blog about reaching Financial Independence and Early Retirement in Australia.

The blog chronicles the final 1000 days of our journey to freedom. We’ve come up with our own approach to Financial Independence – Flamingo FI – which allows us to leave the rat race sooner than we could if we followed the “traditional” path to FI.

Topics covered include investing in shares, ETFs and LICs, index funds and superannuation and property. We also discuss different retirement lifestyles like Early Retirement, Semi-Retirement, and Traditional Retirement.
