About this event

FIRE Up Your Finances A FIRE Starter Session: Investing, Financial Independence & Making Your Money Work Harder 📅 Tuesday 24 November 2026 🕢 7:30 pm \| Online \| Watch from anywhere 🎥 Special recorded session 9 years. 387 events. One mission: help people make better decisions with their money. What if you could build a better financial future without paying thousands in financial advice fees, following investment hype or blindly trusting someone else to make decisions for you? Welcome to Money Tipps®. For nine years, I've been bringing people together to discuss money, investing, saving, pensions, property and financial independence. We started with in-person meetups, bringing people together to share ideas, ask questions and learn from each other. Since then, we've run 387 events. Now it's your turn. 🎥 A special recorded session I've recently welcomed a new baby into the family, so I'm taking a little time away from live events. Rather than cancel our next meetup, I'm sharing a recorded FIRE Starter Session packed with practical ideas, useful insights and actions you can take at your own pace. The mission hasn't changed. The format has. I've run these meetups for nine years, and I can always bring them back live. In the meantime, I want you to keep learning, asking questions and making better decisions. 💡 What will you learn? 🔥 1\. Make your money work harder\. Discover how saving, investing and the power of compounding can help you build long-term wealth. 💷 2\. Stop unnecessary money leaks\. Understand how fees, charges and poor financial decisions can eat into your wealth. Learn what to look out for and how to compare your options. 📈 3\. Understand investing without the jargon\. Explore investment platforms, funds, diversification and risk. Learn how to assess your options rather than simply following someone else's recommendations. ⏳ 4\. Discover your FIRE number\. How much money might you need to become financially independent? Explore the relationship between your spending, savings, investments and the freedom to choose how you spend your time. 🧠 5\. Think for yourself\. Learn to ask better questions, challenge assumptions and recognise when someone else's interests might not align with yours. 🎯 6\. Identify your next move\. Turn what you've learned into practical steps you can take towards a stronger financial future. 🚀 What is FIRE? FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. It's not about giving up everything you enjoy, living on beans or retiring at 40 at all costs. It's about building enough financial security to give yourself more choices over how you live, work and spend your time. You might want to retire early. You might want to work less, change careers, start a business or simply worry less about money. Whatever your goal, understanding your finances is a great place to start. ⚽ Why Money Tipps? The financial world can feel complicated. There's no shortage of people selling products, promising returns or telling you what to buy. Money Tipps takes a different approach. We want you to become harder to sell to and better equipped to make your own decisions. Our independent financial education helps you understand your options without relying on product sales or a sales pitch. You'll find practical frameworks, straightforward explanations and questions worth asking before making important financial decisions. The aim isn't to tell you what to think. It's to teach you how to see things more clearly. 👋 A little about your host I'm Neil Doig, founder of Money Tipps®, author of *Millennial Money Mindset*® and Football Finance: Manage Your Money in 90 Minutes. I've spent years helping people understand money and make more informed financial decisions. These meetups began with a simple idea: bring people together, make money easier to understand and help people take greater control of their financial futures. Nine years and 387 events later, that mission continues. 🎁 Want to keep learning? Explor
