Introducing the ChooseFire Blog ​

Today we are launching the ChooseFire Blog—a clean, design-forward companion to choosefire.com where we publish product progress, FIRE planning frameworks, and lessons from real practitioners in every language our app supports.

Why This Space Exists ​

• Actionable FIRE guidance: We break down the 4% rule (Trinity Study, 1998), savings-rate sensitivity, and drawdown scenarios into replicable models so you know the assumptions behind each number.
• In lockstep with the product roadmap: From asset mapping and retirement backcasting to our multilingual experience, every pivotal release, insight, and data improvement is documented here first.
• Grounded in global best practices: We study communities such as ChooseFI, Mr. Money Mustache, Mad Fientist, and Financial Samurai to contrast approaches and adapt what works to the realities of Asian markets.

How We Organize Content ​

• features: Product walkthroughs, capability breakdowns, and best-practice guides.
• planning: Long-horizon frameworks for asset growth, spending control, and resilience buffers.
• updates: Release notes, performance improvements, and roadmap milestones.
• knowledge: Key terminology, formulas, and data-source disclosures.
• stories: Interviews, retrospectives, and mindset shifts from FIRE builders at different stages.

Every article carries translationOf and translationLang metadata so the Chinese, English, and Japanese versions stay in sync on structure, numbers, and references.

Our Multilingual Workflow ​

1. Draft in the primary language with a clear audience, scenario, and data set.
2. Translate with AI or humans while preserving charts, links, and assumptions from the source.
3. Keep files as draft: true until all required languages are complete, then publish to guarantee a consistent experience across locales.

What You Can Do Next ​

1. Subscribe to the ChooseFire Newsletter for monthly roadmap notes, early feature previews, and curated reading.
2. Sync your assets and cash flow inside the app, then use the planning templates to define your FIRE milestones.
3. Tell us which themes you want covered—or share your own FIRE story—so we can highlight real-world playbooks.
