It promises a life where financial independence allows you to retire early and focus on what you love. But not everyone is a fan. Financial expert Suze Orman has been famously critical of FIRE, labeling it dangerous for those without substantial wealth.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/100k-cd">$100K Sitting In A CD Account, Should I Move Money Into The Stock Market?</a></li>
</ul>
The FIRE movement is rooted in two main ideas: extreme saving and early retirement. By saving 50% or more of their income, followers of FIRE aim to accumulate a large retirement fund to live off investment returns, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40491347/47-year-old-unmotivated-multimillionaire-doctor-asks-dave-ramsey-retire-now-or-work-13-more-year">often before age 40</a>. While some adhere to "lean FIRE," maintaining a modest lifestyle with a smaller retirement fund, others pursue "fat FIRE," accumulating more to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle. The concept has gained significant traction, especially among millennials seeking alternatives to traditional career paths.
However, orman believes that FIRE oversimplifies the financial risks involved. In a 2018 interview on the Afford Anything podcast, she warned that even a seemingly substantial nest egg, like $2 million, might not be enough.&nbsp;
Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-pickle"> to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.</a>
"$2 million is nothing. It's nothing. It's pennies in today's world, to tell you the truth," she stated, expressing her concern that even millions could fall short in the face of life's uncertainties. Orman explained, "If a catastrophe happens … what are you going to do? You are going to burn up alive." For her, retirement requires far more planning than what many anticipate.&nbsp;
Orman's perspective is deeply rooted in the belief that financial independence requires a far larger cushion than most people realize. She even made a clear distinction between <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40711869/how-rich-are-you-heres-the-net-worth-that-defines-upper-middle-and-lower-class">average savers and the ultra-wealthy</a>. "If you have $20 [million], $40 [million], $50 [million] or $100 million, be like me, okay," Orman said. "If you have that kind of money … and want to retire, fine." But for the vast majority, she warns, retiring without that level of wealth is risky and could lead to financial disaster. Her message was simple: early retirement might not be safe unless you&#8217;re extraordinarily wealthy.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, and you only need $100</a>.
Orman's core criticism revolves around FIRE's approach to risk. She points out that unexpected expenses – like major health issues or long-term care – can devastate savings, especially for those who retire decades early. Orman illustrated the potential costs by suggesting that supporting a disabled family member could easily require $250,000 a year. Coupled with living expenses, she argues that maintaining a safe, sustainable retirement could require as much as $10 million in savings to ensure a comfortable life through any storms that might come.
With inflation steadily increasing, her projections from 2018 seem even more relevant now. Living costs, health care expenses and potential tax hikes have all risen, making financial independence harder to achieve than just a few years ago.

Ultimately Orman advises that the risk of retiring early outweighs the reward if you're not <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41125098/suze-orman-says-the-personal-finance-of-americans-is-really-really-bad-even-though-the-stock-mar">financially equipped for unforeseen hardships</a>. "If you don't have at least $5 million or $10 million, don't retire early," she emphasized. In her view, early retirement might work for those with vast resources – people who, like herself, have tens of millions to safeguard against all possibilities – but for everyone else, it's a path that could lead to financial ruin rather than freedom.
So, is FIRE worth pursuing? It depends on your risk tolerance, lifestyle goals and financial resilience.&nbsp;

Honda Motor Company, Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) shares are trading lower on Wednesday following a decline in the first-half profit and reduced <a href="https://global.honda/en/investors/library/documents/main/00/teaserItems3/00/linkList/00/link/FYE202503_2Q_financial_presentation_e_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">annual </a>profit forecast.
The company reported the first half of FY24 revenue growth of 12.4% year over year 10.798 trillion yen ($69.9 billion), while profits declined 19.7% to 494.6 billion Yen ($3.20 billion).
Automobile consolidated unit sales rose by 64,000 units, driven by strong ICE/HEV sales and the full-scale launch of <a target="_blank" href="https://global.honda/en/investors/library/documents/main/00/teaserItems3/00/linkList/03/link/FYE202503_2Q_financial_presentation_script_e.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">EVs </a>in North America.
However, group unit sales fell by 155,000 units, primarily due to lower sales in China.
In the motorcycle business, global sales remained robust, reaching a cumulative total of 10 million units by the end of the second quarter.
Operating profit rose 6.6% to 742.6 billion yen, with a margin of 6.9% (vs<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">. 7.2% in the first half of FY23)</a>.
Additionally, a resolution was made at the company&#8217;s board meeting to repurchase company shares, up to 100 billion yen.
Outlook: For FY25, the company reduced profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent by 50 billion yen to 950 billion yen due to lower equity method profit from reduced sales in China and decreased profit in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">Honda&#8217;s affiliates in Japan</a>.
On the other hand, the company raised the sales revenue forecast by 700 billion yen to 21.000 trillion yen.
Meanwhile, Honda reiterated its FY25 operating profit forecast at 1.420 trillion yen.
Price Action: HMC shares are down 9.72% at $27.36 at the last check Wednesday.

Donald Trump has been elected as the 47th president of the U.S., and the future of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">the electric vehicle (EV) industry</a> is uncertain. 
Here's a look at how the president-elect&#8217;s policy changes could affect<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41755274/trump-win-could-hinder-tech-ev-sector-growth-slow-the-pace-of-ai-revolution-analyst"> EV makers in the US. </a>
Trump's EV Views: Trump, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41562048/leonardo-dicaprio-backs-harris-says-trump-continues-to-deny-the-facts-on-climate">has denied climate change</a>, as largely condemned EVs. He claims they will cost autoworkers' jobs as factories make the shift to electric vehicles. He has also said EVs are<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854007/trump-says-he-will-end-the-electric-vehicle-mandate-on-day-one-days-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-endor"> being forced </a>on consumers through unfair regulations. 
"I will end the electric vehicle mandate on day one, thereby saving the auto industry from complete obliteration which is happening right now and saving US customers thousands and thousands of dollars per car," Trump said in a speech at the Republican National Convention in July.&nbsp;

Trump has also said he plans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854007/trump-says-he-will-end-the-electric-vehicle-mandate-on-day-one-days-after-tesla-ceo-elon-musks-endor">to eliminate</a> many vehicle emissions standards under the Environmental Protection Agency as well as many EV incentives included in the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Analysts Weigh In: Wedbush analysts, including Dan Ives, see <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41755274/trump-win-could-hinder-tech-ev-sector-growth-slow-the-pace-of-ai-revolution-analyst">trouble ahead</a> for the EV industry.&nbsp;
&#8220;We believe a Trump presidency would be an overall negative for the EV industry as likely the EV rebates/tax incentives get pulled, however for Tesla we see this as a potential positive with some caveats,&#8221; the Wedbush analysts wrote.&nbsp;
The analysts pointed to Tesla, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) profitability, along with the company's size and scale, as advantages over its competitors who may struggle after losing rebates and tax incentives. Wedbush also sees Tesla benefiting from higher import fees on Chinese EVs under a Trump administration. 
&#8220;Higher China tariffs that would continue to push away cheaper EV players (BYD, Nio, etc.) from flooding the US market over the coming years,&#8221; Wedbush wrote.&nbsp;
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who campaigned heavily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41766808/mark-cuban-congratulates-trump-musk-before-the-election-is-called-says-they-won-fair-and-square">for the GOP leader</a>, acknowledged that a Trump presidency would likely mean the end of EV subsidies and tax credits during Tesla's second-quarter earnings call. 
The impact would be slight for Tesla and devastating for its competitors, Musk said.
"But long term probably actually helps Tesla, would be my guess, yes," Musk said.&nbsp;
The Big 3: Legacy automakers, General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) are struggling as they transition from traditional combustion engines to EVs. 
The Big 3 automakers have recently announced they will delay investments and other plans related to the production of EVs amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737069/ford-ev-sales-drop-over-8-in-october-as-demand-for-f-150-lightning-slows-down">waning demand </a>from consumers. 
What's Next: It remains to be seen what measures will be repealed under a Trump administration and how each automaker will be affected. However, investors seem to agree with Tesla analysts that Trump's second term is a positive catalyst for the EV giant. Tesla shares are soaring 12.8% higher at $283.49 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

O&#8217;Leary, famously known as &#8220;Mr. Wonderful&#8221; on Shark Tank, loves sharing his formula for success, especially with young entrepreneurs. His advice is direct: if you&#8217;re in your 20s and trying to build a business, forget about having a work-life balance. The competition is just too intense.

In his view, you&#8217;re at risk of being left behind unless you&#8217;re ready to put in those kinds of hours. He even goes so far as to say that to be successful, you need to work relentlessly or as he puts it, &#8220;25 hours a day.&#8221;&nbsp;
Working around the clock sounds extreme to most people, but O&#8217;Leary knows the importance of laying a strong foundation in the early stages of your career. When you're young, you have the time and energy to make sacrifices because &#8220;In your 20s, you can afford the time, the focus and all the stress that comes with building something from the ground up. You should start thinking about taking some time off only after establishing that foundation.&#8221;

What many might see as a well-earned break was stifling for O&#8217;Leary, who said he felt &#8220;stale&#8221; without the ability to work. He quickly understood that his feeling of purpose depended on his ability to continue building businesses.
This relentless pursuit of success is also reflected in his approach to investing. O&#8217;Leary has one rule regarding money: always invest in information. &#8220;If you make decisions without relevant information, I guarantee you, you will lose money 100% of the time,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;

Today's Biggest Pre-Market Stock Movers: 10 Top Gainers and Losers on Friday

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
PaxMedica&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pxmd-stock-quote/">PXMD</a>) stock is rocketing higher on Friday after the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/paxmedica-achieves-key-milestone-in-the-development-of-pax-101-and-provides-update-on">reached a key milestone</a> in drug development.



The big news here is the company securing three pivotal registration/validation batches of PAX-101. The company says that this is a key milestone in its plans for a New Drug Application (NDA) set for Q4 2024.



Investors are celebrating this news as it puts PAX-101 one step closer to approval from the Food and Drug Administration&nbsp;(FDA). If approved, it would be the first first and only form of suramin for the treatment of Stage 1 Human African Trypanosomiasis.



<h2>What&rsquo;s Next for PXMD Stock?</h2>



Howard Weisman, chairman and CEO of&nbsp;PaxMedica, said the following about the company&rsquo;s next plan for PAX-101.




&ldquo;The long-term vision for PaxMedica is to further clinical investigation of PAX-101 as a treatment for individuals who struggle with Autism Spectrum Disorder. With this important manufacturing milestone completed, we have removed a major impediment to testing PAX-101 as a treatment for the core symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder.&rdquo;




All of this news brings with it heavy trading of PXMD stock this morning. That has more than 5 million shares changing hands as of this writing. That&rsquo;s quite the leap over its daily average trading volume of about 240,000 shares.



PXMD stock is up 92.7% as of Friday morning.

Why Is PaxMedica (PXMD) Stock Up 93% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Allarity Therapeutics&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/allr-stock-quote/">ALLR</a>) stock is heading higher on Friday alongside heavy pre-market trading.



Investors will note that this movement comes after the company <a href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=90423&amp;ref=318229974&amp;type=PDF&amp;symbol=ALLR&amp;cdn=994a98b62336e93eb05e904c271966d1&amp;companyName=Allarity+Therapeutics+Inc.&amp;formType=424B5&amp;formDescription=Prospectus+%5BRule+424%28b%29%285%29%5D&amp;dateFiled=2024-04-11">announced a prospectus supplement</a>. This alters the maximum aggregate offering price of shares sold through prospectus from $1,350,000 to $2,350,000.



Allarity Therapeutics notes that it currently has 828,580 shares outstanding with a value of $7,092,593. The amendment mentions that the company has sold $1,348,908 worth of its shares and is eligible to sell $1,015,290 more.



<h2>ALLR Stock Movement Today</h2>



The heavy pre-market trading has more than 2.8 million shares of the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company&rsquo;s stock changing hands. That&rsquo;s well above its daily average trading volume of about 59,000 shares.



Investors will also note that ALLR stock is up 41.3% as of Friday morning. Even so, the shares closed out Thursday down 78.9% since the start of the year.



Another thing to note is that ALLR is a penny stock. This comes from its low daily average trading volume, prior closing price of $2.30 per share and market capitalization of only $1.0821.082. All of these make it a risky investment.

Why Is Allarity Therapeutics (ALLR) Stock Up 41% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Motus GI&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mots-stock-quote/">MOTS</a>) stock is falling on Friday following a warning that the medical technology company is in danger of being delisted.



Motus GI <a href="https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=90423&amp;ref=318230488&amp;type=PDF&amp;symbol=MOTS&amp;cdn=84b00af3974179838345280e52876622&amp;companyName=Motus+GI+Holdings+Inc.&amp;formType=8-K&amp;formDescription=Current+report+pursuant+to+Section+13+or+15%28d%29&amp;dateFiled=2024-04-11">got a delisting notice</a> from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Exchange on April 5. In that notice, the company was warned about a potential delisting due to its low shares price.



Shares of MOTS stock have been trading for less than $1 each for over 30 business days. That has the company not complying with the minimum bid to remain listed on the exchange.



On that same note, Motus GI has enacted reverse stock splits with a ratio of 250 shares or more to one over the last year. That makes it ineligible for a compliance period to regain the $1 minimum bid.



<h2>What This Means for MOTS Stock</h2>



Motus GI has until today to request a hearing with the Nasdaq Exchange to try and avoid delisting. However, the company doesn&rsquo;t believe it can regain compliance and is choosing not to seek a hearing.



As a result, shares of MOTS stock will stop trading on the Nasdaq Exchange when markets open on Tuesday. This will result in its shares switching over to the OTC Pink Market of the OTCMarkets. It intends to apply for listing on the OTCQB.



Finally, Motus GI says it is exploring a range of strategic options. Its doing so to maximize shareholder value while speeding up the commercialization of its Pure-Vu System.



MOTS stock is down 37.1% as of Friday morning.

Why Is Motus GI (MOTS) Stock Down 37% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Applied Digital&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/apld-stock-quote/">APLD</a>) stock is falling on Friday following the release of the data center company&rsquo;s earnings report for its fiscal third quarter of 2024.



The bad news for APLD stockholders starts with the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/applied-digital-reports-fiscal-third-200500599.html">adjusted earnings per share of -24 cents</a>. That&rsquo;s much worse than the -7 cents per share that Wall Street was expecting. It&rsquo;s also a significant setback compared to the -1 cent per share from the same period of the year prior.



Also not helping matters is Applied Digital&rsquo;s revenue of $43.35 million in fiscal Q3 2024. That&rsquo;s another miss next to analysts&rsquo; revenue estimate of $51.92 million. This is despite it increasing 208% year-over-year from $14.09 million.



Wes Cummins, chairman and CEO of Applied Digital, said this in the earnings report.




&ldquo;During the quarter, Applied Digital encountered several challenges that impacted our financial performance due to facility power outages in our datacenter hosting business. Despite these short-term setbacks, we made significant progress with our key growth initiatives in the development of our Cloud Services business and the establishment of our special purpose built 100 MW HPC datacenter in Ellendale.&rdquo;




<h2>APLD Stock Movement Today</h2>



Investors aren&rsquo;t happy about these latest earnings results from Applied Digital. That has shares of APLD stock falling 5.5% as of Friday morning. That builds on a 55.9% decrease year-to-date as of Thursday&rsquo;s close.



With today&rsquo;s drop in price comes roughly 216,000 shares of APLD stock changing hands. That&rsquo;s well below its daily average trading volume of about 3.5 million shares.
