Aussie FIRE | Financial Independence Retire Early

In our last chapter, we detailed why shares and index-tracking funds have historically been so popular with the FIRE community. However, there's more than one way to start FIRE. By learning about the full spectrum of assets, you can make the right FIRE choices for your goals.
That's why Captain FI spends this chapter diving into the variety of wealth-building options available to you. These range from the common, such as bonds and high-interest savings accounts; to the more exotic, like precious metals. He also compares different investing strategies, so you can decide which assets (or which balance of assets) are right for you.
