From CNBC Make It.

Florence Poirel, 37, quit her six-figure job at Google to take a mini retirement in Switzerland. After climbing the corporate ladder for over a decade, she realized she wanted a slower life. With over a million dollars in savings, thanks to her discovery of the FIRE movement, she felt ready to take a brief career break and now spends her days enjoying life in her idyllic Switzerland town by a lake.

This is an installment of CNBC Make It’s Millennial Money series, which profiles people across the globe and details how they earn, spend and save their money.
