“Millennial” is a seemingly dubious title, with the media blaming this age group as ruining just about everything from the wedding to the paper napkin industry–but we’re pretty stoked to find Millennials who are using the disruptor reputation to fuel their FIRE dreams.
The term “Millennial” refers to anyone born between 1981 and 1996–which is a huge age range and can encompass a lot of different people!
Of course, as the FIRE movement continues to grow and more diverse voices enter the space, we will likely need to add to this list and develop new ones–if there’s someone you know that should be on this list because they have a totally stellar FIRE blog geared for the Millennial crowd, please let us know!
