FAT FIRE Mastermind 2026 – Melbourne

FIRE isn’t a strategy. It’s a blueprint to the life you want.

A half-day, small-group session with Tung Nguyen. Learn the frameworks behind FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) and leave with a working draft of your own plan, built around your own numbers, not someone else’s template.

What’s the point of trading, investing and building your knowledge if you have no plan for where you’re heading?

You can spend years studying the markets, improving your skills and building your portfolio.

But if you’re simply hoping it will all eventually add up to the life you want, you’re trying to get somewhere without a map.

You know you’re moving. But do you know where you’re going?

Trading and investing are tools – and they’re good ones.

The bigger question is: what are you trying to build with them?

An intimate Boardroom experience with Tung Nguyen

The FIRE Boardroom is an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day and look at the bigger picture.

What does financial independence look like for you, and what could it take to get there?

Where am I actually heading, and what could it take to get there?

More than a number

You may have already watched the calls, used Tung’s spreadsheet or calculated your own FIRE number.

This is where you bring it all together.

Work through your own situation. Ask the questions that come up when the numbers become personal. Explore different possibilities with direct access to Tung throughout the afternoon.

And do it in a room with people who are also actively thinking about what they want their financial future to look like.

You’ll leave with a working draft of your own FIRE plan, a clearer understanding of what could move your timeline and a framework you can revisit as your circumstances change

More than a number

You may have already watched the calls, used Tung’s spreadsheet or calculated your own FIRE number.

This is where you bring it all together.

Work through your own situation. Ask the questions that come up when the numbers become personal. Explore different possibilities with direct access to Tung throughout the afternoon.

And do it in a room with people who are also actively thinking about what they want their financial future to look like.

You’ll leave with a working draft of your own FIRE plan, a clearer understanding of what could move your timeline and a framework you can revisit as your circumstances change.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • What financial independence could look like for you
  • Your own FIRE number and what sits behind it
  • The levers that could have the biggest impact on your timeline
  • How savings, expenses, income and compound growth interact
  • Different FIRE pathways, including Lean, Fat, Coast and Barista FIRE
  • How changing assumptions can change the bigger picture
  • How to stress-test different scenarios and identify blind spots

This session is for you if:

  • You’re currently working and want a clearer path to financial independence
  • You’re curious about FIRE, or already saving toward it and want a proper framework
  • You want to understand how the numbers work, not just follow someone else’s rule of thumb
  • You want a draft plan built around your own circumstances, not a generic template

What the day looks like:

Join Tung and all of our educators – David Bird (ASX Trader), Craig Tapping, and Jamie Bell, plus the MtM team – for an intimate 3-course lunch, drinks, and networking.

Your day begins at 11:30am with an intimate three-course lunch with Tung and all of our educators – David Bird (ASX Trader), Craig Tapping, and Jamie Bell, plus the MtM team, before joining a deliberately small group from 2pm to 6pm to work directly with Tung.

Then, we’ll finish the day with networking drinks and nibbles from 6pm to connect and unwind.

Bring your laptop. Bring your numbers. Bring your questions.

Your version of this doesn’t exist yet. Build it.

One afternoon with Tung Nguyen to step away from the day-to-day, think differently about what’s possible and start creating a clearer path forward. Places are strictly limited.

Please let us know any dietary requirements when booking.

Do I need to bring anything?

We recommend bringing:

  • A fully charged laptop (you’ll be filling out Tung’s Fire spreadsheet so bring a laptop or device)
  • Your own notebook or preferred note-taking tools
  • A power bank or charger (limited charging available on-site)
  • A light jumper or jacket, as event spaces can sometimes feel a little cool

Is there a dress code?

Smart casual is perfect. Just be comfortable – there will be a mix of seated sessions, interactive learning, and networking.

Can I buy tickets at the door?

No – all tickets must be purchased online in advance.

How is this different from Melbourne Live?

Melbourne Live is a full-day event covering diversification across MtM’s broader educator group. This boardroom session is a small, hands-on half-day with Tung Nguyen focused specifically on building your own FIRE plan.

What’s the difference between this event and your online courses?

This is a live, face-to-face experience led by MtM’s specialist educator Tung Nguyen. It’s hands-on, interactive, and gives you a real-world taste of how we teach — plus, you’ll meet the team and community in person.

I’m already an MtM student - should I attend?

Absolutely. This event is designed to help you consolidate your learning, ask live questions, connect with others, and gain a deeper understanding of the markets in a real-time setting.

I'm already retired. Should I attend?

This session is built for the accumulation journey rather than drawdown, so it’s better suited to those still working toward financial independence rather than those already there.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

If you cancel more than 7 days before the event, you may receive a full refund (minus any applicable processing fees). Cancellations made within 7 days of the event are not eligible for a refund. If you don’t attend the event, no refund or credit will be issued.

You can view the full terms in our Event Terms & Conditions.

Will the event be recorded or live-streamed?

No, this is an in-person only event to ensure a high-quality, interactive experience. Attending live gives you access to exclusive content and networking opportunities not available elsewhere.
