2026.07.31 – Liron Mazor – The FIRE Movement – Is Financial Independence the Antidote to Hustle Culture?

A FINAL FIRE RHYME

A playful closing for Howard – faith, effort, freedom and one very unfortunate bird.

SAVE – BUT LIVE

Save what you can and invest what you may, but don’t let tomorrow eat all of today. Build freedom with patience, with purpose and cheer; take one steady step, then another each year.

THINK – BELIEVE – CO-CREATE

Think it, believe it, then co-create; start with your vision, but don’t sit and wait. Don’t idle or dawdle or lazily roam — keep working, keep learning, keep building your home.

REACH OUT TO HASHEM

Reach out to Hashem through worry and strain; His love stays beside us through sunshine and rain. When twists make no sense and the pathway feels late, trust everything’s good – Hashem guides our fate.

KEEP YOUR HUMOUR

If markets turn bumpy or budgets go splat, take courage, reset, and remember just that: What could be worse than your FIRE plan askew? A bird in your bedroom … then pooing on you!

THE LAST WORD

So Howard, keep smiling if feathers appear; and Liron, keep building your freedom each year. With faith and with effort, with joy as your aim, make work more a choice – and give thanks to Hashem!

With Love

Liron (Yaakov) Mazor ♡
