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.

Step 3: Input Your Retirement Expectation

b. Retirement Annual Spending
Retirement Annual Spending is your estimated spending for any given year
during retirement. This involves creating a detailed budget that takes
into account all your future expenses, including housing, healthcare,
travel, hobbies, and any other costs you expect to incur. 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c. Annual Withdrawn Rate (in percent)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.
