Welcome to Money Flamingo! 🙂
If you are looking for a better, more enjoyable way to Financial Independence, you have come to the right place!
I believe that it is simply not necessary to spend 10+ years working and saving like a maniac to get your freedom back.
Money Flamingo is all about alternatives to the standard path to FIRE. This is where you can learn how to use strategies like Semi-Retirement, Coast FI and Flamingo FI to get your time back sooner and create a happy, fulfilling life along the way. This is an Australian blog, but the topics discussed here are relevant to FIRE enthusiasts everywhere.
The goal of this site is to show you how you can design a life plan that offers the best of both worlds: more time and freedom now and financial independence and security later on. I also believe that the right mindset is key if you want to get the most out of the freedom Financial Independence creates.
Here are some of our most popular articles to get you started:
- 26 Alternatives to Early Retirement (that don’t require full FI!)
- Where Do You Stand On The Financial Freedom Spectrum?

- How to Take a Life-Changing Mini-Retirement

We also have a very popular Semi-FI calculator that lets you calculate your Coast FI, Flamingo FI and FIRE numbers (and ages!). You can access it here: Semi-Retirement Calculator.
If you feel an alternative path to FI might be for you, I’d love for you to join our private Facebook group. It’s an awesome place to ask questions and meet like-minded people.
I also have a free monthly newsletter where I share our latest articles, great resources I’ve come across and some bonus content as well. You can sign-up here:
I share our own journey to Financial Independence here on the blog as well. You can find the full archive of our monthly (and now quarterly) updates here.
If you are into binge-reading, you can dig through all our articles, case studies and interviews on the blog page.
I also work 1:1 with a small number of people and help them navigate their transition to a more balanced life based on their priorities. If this is something you are interested in, please fill in the waitlist form, and I’ll be in touch.
If you are in the earlier stages of your FI journey and are interested in alternative FI strategies that don’t require your to put your life on hold, you might be interested in the Find Your FI course.
