About FIRE Bento
FIRE Bento is built by a global-minded tech family who has called cities like Houston, LA, Honolulu, and Irvine home—and travels internationally each year. We’re always exploring new ways to design a life of flexibility, security, and adventure.
Why FIRE Bento?
Most personal finance advice assumes you’ll spend your life in one place. But families like ours think across borders—planning for school, travel, and opportunities worldwide. We understand the unique challenges of managing money, retirement, and family decisions in a global context.
FIRE Bento exists to share the tools, calculators, and real-life strategies we use to make smarter decisions—wherever life takes us.
What You’ll Find Here
- Simple, actionable calculators for families with cross-border lives
- Guides on geoarbitrage, cost of living, and financial independence from a global perspective
- Insights and honest lessons from years of international moves and money decisions
- Occasional deep-dives or “contrarian takes” on mainstream FIRE advice
Who Is This Site For?
If you’re planning an international move, raising kids with a global mindset, or want to make the most of your money wherever you live, you’ll find tools and honest advice here. FIRE Bento is for families and professionals who think beyond borders.
