About Minimum Viable Retirement

Minimum Viable Retirement is a minimalist approach to financial independence. It blends early-retirement principles with simplicity, sustainability, and intentional living.

Our Mission

To help people achieve financial and lifestyle independence sooner by focusing on what truly matters — health, purpose, relationships, and freedom.

The Philosophy

MVR is about designing a life that’s both affordable and fulfilling. Instead of aiming for “maximum comfort,” the focus is on “minimum viable freedom” — the point where you can live well on less.

Get Involved

You can adapt the ideas shared here to your own life. Whether you’re a high-income earner seeking balance or someone pursuing simple living on a modest budget, the MVR mindset helps you move from endless earning to intentional existing.
