Welcome to the Fight Fire With FIRE Investing Guide<\/strong>! In this 16-part guide, we are going to cover all aspects of an index investing strategy: how to know you’re ready to invest, what index funds are, why a portfolio structured around them is so compelling, asset allocation, how to build an indexed portfolio from the ground up, and how to maintain it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The various parts of the guide are meant to be read in order, and will build on previous sections, but if you are experienced, feel free to jump around to sections that interest you! Please use the links at the bottom of this page to access the Checklist<\/a><\/strong> as well as the Portfolio Tracking Spreadsheet<\/a><\/strong> that we will be using in the guide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
