What Is Coast FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early)?

Coast FIRE is a movement that try to save aggressively and invest to the point where the investment could take care of itself from the power of compounding without any further contribution. This means you may have to retire in some what later, but that allows you to work on a lower pay but lower stress job just to cover your expenses only since there is no saving needed any more.

Coast FIRE introduces a balancing act between financial freedom and the desire to continue working. It's a departure from the all-or-nothing mindset often associated with early retirement. The strategy allows for a more gradual transition, acknowledging that personal and financial priorities may evolve over time.

How Does FIRE Work?

Two key components of FIRE are saving aggressively and investing wisely. By starting saving your income early and investing the sums, compound interest can accelerate the journey to Financial Independence and Retire Early.

It's important to be realistic and thorough in this assessment to ensure your retirement years are financially comfortable.

c. Annual Withdrawn Rate (in percent)

Withdrawal Rate represents the percentage of your net worth that you anticipate withdrawing annually to cover your retirement expenses. A lower withdrawal rate implies a safer and more conservative approach to financial independence, as it reduces the risk of outliving your savings.

The widely accepted safe withdrawal rate is typically between 3% and 4%. This means that for every $1 million in your retirement portfolio, you can withdraw $30,000 to $40,000 annually, assuming a 3% to 4% withdrawal rate.
