    19. FIRE for the self-employed: an interview with Anne-Marie and David
    Jun 23 2026

    Does running a business make FIRE easier as the tools and skills are transferable? Or does it make it harder as businesses take up so much of your time? For this episode we're talking to Anne-Marie and David who own and manage two businesses.

    We talk about how they first heard about FIRE and what their future goals are, along with managing a healthy work/life balance including managing employees. We also cover the parallels between running a business and managing your family finances and the differences between saving for retirement as an employee and as a company director.

    For this episode we're joined by John to discuss inheritance tax. Coming changes to tax law mean that many more people will have to deal with inheritance tax and we discuss ways to maximise how much of your inheritance gets passed on to your dependents.

    What is changing in April 2027 and how does it affect inheritance tax? What can I do to minimise the effects?
