What is FIRE?

FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. It is a movement dedicated to extreme savings and aggressive investing so that you can retire decades earlier than the standard age of 65.

The 4% Rule (The Safe Withdrawal Rate)

The entire math behind the FIRE movement is based on the Trinity Study, which found that if you withdraw 4% of your investment portfolio every year (adjusted for inflation), you are statistically guaranteed to never run out of money over a 30-year retirement.

Therefore, your "FIRE Number" (the total amount you need invested to retire) is exactly 25 times your annual expenses.

The Shocking Math of Savings Rates

The most interesting part of FIRE math is that your current income doesn't matter. The only thing that dictates when you can retire is your Savings Rate (the percentage of your income you save and invest).

  • If you save 10% of your income, you have to work for 51 years.
  • If you save 30% of your income, you have to work for 28 years.
  • If you save 50% of your income, you only have to work for 17 years.
  • If you save 70% of your income, you only have to work for 8.5 years!

Every 1% increase in your savings rate shaves months off your working life.
