Can I announce my new FIRE app or tool here?
No. The rule “No se permite la publicidad ni el spam” says this is not a sub to find clients or do business, so launching or linking your product is off the table.

Rule summary
- Manten el respeto: Manten el respeto y el buen tono de la conversación. No se tolerarán faltas de educación, ataques personales, burlas, troleadas ni provocaciones. No entres al trapo de los provocadores: usa el downvote y los reportes, y el equipo de moderación se encargará de eliminar los comentarios ofensivos.
- No se permite la publicidad ni el spam: Este no es un sub para encontrar clientes ni hacer negocio. No se permite el spam, ni el abuso del autobombo. No se permite la publicación de links de referidos no solicitados. No se permite la promoción de apps.
- No se permite el off-topic: Los posts tienen que estar relacionados, al menos tangencialmente, con el mundo FIRE.
- No se permiten post de bajo esfuerzo: Evita posts de bajo esfuerzo. No preguntes cosas que puedes resolver con una búsqueda rápida en Google o en nuestro sub. Evita publicar AI slop.
Works well
- A detailed writeup of how you cut one specific expense category, with real numbers and what you learned.
- A thoughtful question about a genuine FIRE tradeoff, like balancing extra savings against increasing income.
- A long-form lesson from your own path toward financial independence, written in Spanish and grounded in your actual experience.
- A discussion starter about a FIRE topic you searched for and could not find answered in the sub, showing you did the homework first.
Avoid
- Posting links to your product, landing page, or blog because that reads as publicidad or spam and gets removed.
- Dropping unsolicited referral links in posts or comments, which the spam rule names directly.
- Promoting your app, even casually in a comment, because app promotion is explicitly not allowed.
- Introducing yourself as a founder building something for FIRE users, since the rule says this is not a sub to find clients or do business.
- Posting generic AI-written listicles or recycled content, because the low effort rule tells people to avoid AI slop.
- Asking questions a quick Google search or a sub search would answer, which counts as low effort here.
What r/SpainFIRE Is For
r/SpainFIRE is a Spanish-language community about financial independence and early retirement, what the description calls La Independencia Financiera or the FIRE movement. The core idea is simple: bring your retirement forward so you can spend your time on what you actually want. People here talk about maximizing savings by cutting expenses and, when possible, increasing income. The rules make it clear this is a conversation space, not a marketplace, and the whole sub runs in Spanish, so anyone posting should be comfortable writing for a Spanish-speaking audience.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Four rules decide everything here, and all four are written in Spanish. “Manten el respeto” sets the tone, so no teasing, no trolling, and no taking the bait when someone provokes you. “No se permite la publicidad ni el spam” is the one that matters most for any founder, because it bans finding clients, self-promotion, unsolicited referral links, and app promotion outright. “No se permite el off-topic” requires every post to relate at least tangentially to FIRE, meaning financial independence and early retirement. “No se permiten post de bajo esfuerzo” filters out questions you could answer with a quick search and tells people to avoid AI slop.
What To Post
For a founder doing respectful marketing, the honest answer is that direct promotion is banned, so your only path is genuine participation. A good post is written in Spanish, sits clearly inside the FIRE topic, and gives real value before you ever mention what you do, if you mention it at all. Think along the lines of a detailed writeup of how you cut a specific expense category, a thoughtful question about a tradeoff between saving more and earning more, or a lesson learned on your own path to financial independence. The low effort rule means depth matters, so do the research, search the sub first, and bring something a quick Google search would not surface. If you reference a tool or resource, make sure it is not a referral link and not your own app, because both are named in the rules.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is anything that looks like business. Do not post links to your product, do not drop referral links nobody asked for, and do not promote your app, because the spam rule names all three. Do not treat the sub as a place to find clients. Do not post anything unrelated to financial independence, even if it is interesting. Do not post low effort questions that a Google search or a search of the sub would answer, and do not publish AI slop. Finally, keep the tone respectful and walk away from provocateurs instead of arguing, since the rules tell people to use downvotes and reports rather than engage.

Common questions about r/SpainFIRE
Can I share a referral link if I disclose it?
No. The rules ban unsolicited referral links, so leave them out of every post and comment.
Can I post a link to a free spreadsheet or calculator I made?
Yes, if it is genuinely useful and tangentially related to FIRE, but the spam rule still applies, so a naked link with no context will not survive.
Can I post about my startup if it is not finance related?
No. The off-topic rule requires posts to relate at least tangentially to FIRE, so a pure marketing post fails twice.
Is it okay to share my own savings rate or expense cuts?
Yes. The description centers on maximizing savings by cutting expenses and, when possible, raising income, so real numbers and real tradeoffs fit the room.
