That's the FI (financial independence) part of FIRE. The retire early part is optional for many that are pursuing this goal.

There's an active community on Reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/

One point that often comes up is that people shut their mouth about FIRE because if they bring it up, the reaction is often negative. There might be several people you know working towards FIRE but they don't evangelize it.
