FIRE is not about being rich. It is about building enough passive income and invested assets that your time is yours again, before a traditional retirement age.
Take your annual expenses and multiply by 25. That is your FIRE number. At a 4% withdrawal rate, your portfolio sustains you indefinitely based on historical returns.
We are not optimizing for extreme frugality. We want the same life, just without depending on an employer to fund it. Our target is $3.6M in invested assets by age 46.
