FIRE Away in the Public Sector: Early Retirement for Irish Government Employees
Have you ever dreamt of leaving the 9-to-5 behind and pursuing other passions? The Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement is gaining traction around the world, and it’s particularly appealing to public sector workers in Ireland. Here at PSF, we understand the unique financial landscape of Government employees and can help you craft a strategy to achieve FIRE.
Public sector jobs offer stability, flexibility in some areas of work, benefits, and decent pensions. But what if you crave more freedom and flexibility sooner rather than later? The FIRE movement allows you to accumulate enough wealth to cover your living expenses without relying on a traditional paycheck. This opens doors to travel, pursuing passions, or simply enjoying more time with loved ones.
Sounds good..doesn’t it…
The good news is, public sector workers have a solid foundation for FIRE. Here’s how Kenneth at PSF can help you maximise your benefits for this journey:
- Pension Power: Ireland’s defined benefit pension schemes are a valuable asset. We’ll help you understand your pension projections and how they fit into your long term goals.
- Tax Savvy Strategies: Utilise tax-advantaged accounts like AVCS or Personal Retirement Savings Accounts (PRSAs) to maximise growth while minimising tax burdens.
- Budgeting: We can create a personalised budget that tracks spending and identifies areas for saving without sacrificing your quality of life.
- Smart Investing: Develop an investment strategy aligned with your risk tolerance and FIRE timeline.
FIRE is a Marathon, Not a Sprint
Remember, FIRE is a long-term plan. The key is to start early, be consistent, and make calculated adjustments along the way. We’ll be your partner in this journey, providing guidance and support every step of the way.
