FIRE Number: The amount you need saved so that your investment withdrawals cover your annual expenses. Calculated as Annual Expenses / Withdrawal Rate.
4% Rule: Based on the Trinity Study, a 4% annual withdrawal rate has historically sustained portfolios for 30+ years. Adjust the withdrawal rate for more conservative (3-3.5%) or aggressive (4.5-5%) plans.
Lean FIRE: Covers only essential expenses (50% of current). Fat FIRE: Allows for a more comfortable lifestyle (2x current expenses).
Savings Rate: The single most important factor for reaching FIRE. Higher savings rates dramatically reduce the number of working years needed.
