FreedomFIRE: A New Flavour of Financial Independence

FreedomFIRE measures freedom as a structural position, not just a money number.

Your result is a coordinate on a 2D compass: wealth on one axis, freedom on the other.

Nine class profiles tile the compass, including the two off-diagonal positions a 1D score collapses: Comprador (high wealth, low freedom) and Bohemian (low wealth, high freedom).

A reader with £2 million invested and a job they cannot quit is a Comprador, not an Aristocrat. A reader with £20,000 and an owned roof is a Bohemian, not a Wage Slave.

The two axes ask a different question: not how much money you have, but how much of your life it actually frees.
