Thanks! I don't think we're very FIRE-y here on the site (although I've more or less managed to).OwenM wrote: ↑Sat Jan 07, 2023 9:44 am Though it’s been rather beaten to death, the word FIRE could perhaps help to crossover and attract Japanese readers, too. It might be interesting to have you interview some of the authors you recommend or Japanese bloggers related to this area. Could retire Japan become a hub for bilingual Japanese who are interested in Nisa, iDeco etc.?
Personally I like the name just fine. It has a low key feel that accurately describes why people should come here. I’m not really into being sold any particular lifestyle other than understanding how to manage finances in Japan.
I think it's a very niche, extreme thing that doesn't suit most people and could put of the very people I started the site to help
You're right about the appeal to some Japanese people though: seems to be a bit of a (not very well understood) buzzword here now...
