The Saunders decided to share their experience when they realized that the media often portray a skewed narrative of Black wealth.

After she turned 30, Valentine experienced one series of health problems after another, including thyroid cancer and severe pancreatitis, which required doctors to remove her gallbladder. As Valentine heard about the FIRE movement before experiencing her health scares, but she was initially reluctant to pursue it.

"That's something a lot of people don't acknowledge," she said. Now, Valentine expects that she will have to help her dad financially when he retires. "If you're planning to pursue FIRE and you're going to inherit your parents, you're going to have to do things a little differently.
