Well, here’s the first post for Minimal FIRE!
This has taken substantial effort and, to some extent, being comfortable with documenting my journey, lifestyle and future on Minimal FIRE! I also wanted to quantify the ‘substantial effort’, as this site isn’t a simple “click a button and go” style blog. I’ve been (slowly) teaching myself to code ๐ป. I’ve been experimenting with Hugo (Go), JavaScript, CSS and deployment pipelines. It’s been fun (and frustrating ๐ค) learning how to build a site/blog with a CMS and create a few functions of my own!
Minimal FIRE echos a value of simplicity, with just a few pages on the site. I feel this embraces the true sense of Minimalism, each page should really have a purpose and add value ๐.
What’s in store?
It seems that there is a whole load of information to also consider ๐ :
- In-depth analytical posts?
- Short, brief snippets of info?
- Experiments and results?
- Frequency?
My passions are minimalism ๐, financial independence ๐ฐ and exploring new things โฐ๏ธ (including lifestyle hacks and improvements). I guess this starts a flexible future for Minimal FIRE, where I can determine what brings value to the site and readers. Strangely, it may also hold me to account with future lifestyle experiments! Perhaps some of the topics I may test first:
- Minimalism
- Financial Independence
- Lifestyle Experiments
- Adventure
- Food
- Work
- Health
- Mental health
- Fitness.
For now, I’ll focus on improving behind the scenes and start writing more interesting content, expect more soon! ๐ฎ
