Understanding FIRE

What is FIRE?

Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) is a movement focused on extreme savings and investment to allow retirement far earlier than traditional budgets would allow.

The 4% Rule

Based on the Trinity Study, you can safely withdraw 4% of your portfolio annually with low risk of running out of money over 30 years. For early retirees, consider 3-3.5%.

Coast FIRE

When you have enough saved that compound growth alone will get you to your retirement number by age 65, even if you stop contributing.

Key to Success

A high savings rate is the biggest factor in reaching FIRE. Increasing from 10% to 50% can cut decades off your timeline.
