John: I have to admit to not being very familiar with this particular bowel movement. Among we few institutional economists, FIRE stands for Finance,Insurance, & Real Estate (i.e., the heart of the wank). And if it requires earning 6 figures per year in retirement to retire then only the wankers need apply. If we don't get monopoly seller sanctioned inflation under control, even 6 figures, austerity, and lots of skullbuggery won't cut it.
