The Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) movement has been gaining followers for the better part of a decade and awareness of it is now spreading into the mainstream. The basic goal of FIRE sounds simple: save enough money so you can quit your job early. But not every FIRE journey looks the s
The author of the blog, One Frugal Girl, prefers to remain anonymous, she says, because she doesn’t like the idea of flaunting her family’s prosperity. Still, she’s been chronicling her journey to financial independence since 2006, long before the term FIRE existed. Her approach to money, she says, developed from growing up in a single-income household where her parents were careful about spending.
Frugal Girl worked as a software developer early in her career. She says she took on every assignment and learned how to speak to her bosses about her goals and earnings. By the time she quit to stay home with her children in 2012, she was earning six figures. “I never wanted to have to pay for something and not be able to,” she says. “So, knowing I have that money there, that’s important to me.”

‘NBA Hangtime’ Announcer Remembers Calling Scottie Pippen’s Classic Fire Double Dunk GameCHICAGO—Telling reporters Monday that it was one of the most memorable two-on-two Tournament Mode games of his storied career, former NBA Hangtime announcer Dick Walters described calling Scottie Pippen’s classic 1997 fire double dunk game. “I could tell Pippen was going to have a good night once he threw down that front flip dunk after winning the opening tip, but I had no idea he would go on to dominate every single possession for all 12 minutes of the game,” said Walters, who recalled impulsively screaming “he jams it in!” at the top of his lungs after Pippen threw a no-look alley-oop pass across the entire court to his werewolf teammate, setting off the 400 fans in an already electric Midway Arena. “People always like to talk about his 47 unanswered points, but what I’ll never forget is the moment he wildly swung his hands around his body to strip Reggie Miller midair before launching himself from behind the three-point line and throwing down a dunk that burst the ball into blue flames. After witnessing that, I felt the only thing left to say was, ‘He’s got skills.’” Walters then conceded that, as great as Pippen’s performance was, nothing could ever reach the heights of the Jungle Court match between the Bulls and Knicks that elicited eight straight “boomshakalaka!”s in the final two minutes.
