philosophy
Many of our first-world problems, stresses, and sufferings are of our own making, fueled by over-consumption (materialism, social media, etc.) and an endless pursuit of more. Capitalism is a tool, not a purpose, and real freedom is found when we are no longer chained by it.

Simple Living×Financial Freedom

About SimplyFreely.com

This hybrid web-app & blog is created around the principles of the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement and simple living, built by FIRE-ee (me, Andrew 👋) for FIRE-seekers/FIRE-ees. It’s a space for anyone interested in living more intentionally, spending less, and building a path to early financial freedom. Here, you'll find:
  • FIRE Planner App to help you stay on track with your financial freedom plan.
  • An Interactive* Blog exploring simple living, financial freedom, and my personal journey with FIRE.
  • Personalized* Tools & Calculators to help you think differently about money, optimize spending (like groceries), and plan for financial independence.
  • Simple, Budget-Friendly Recipes I love and use regularly.
* using the data you entered to the FIRE Planner, feature coming soon
NOTE: this website was started at the end of 2024 and is entirely built from scratch (from the design and implentation of the FIRE planner app portion, to the blog & recipes mechanism etc.), so check back regularly (and the release notes) as I work hard on putting my vision together!

PS. my primary focus is to make it functional first, then I'll make it pretty :), so expect things to change/move around over time

PPS. this upcoming chunk of work requires a big refactor so will take me a bit longer... —May, 2025
