What This Means

Coast FIRE means having enough invested that compound growth alone will bring your portfolio to your full FIRE number by your target retirement age, without any additional contributions. Your full FIRE number is $1,000,000, calculated as 25x your $40,000 annual expenses using the 4% safe withdrawal rate. To find your Coast FIRE number, we discount $1,000,000 back 30 years at a 3.9% real return (7% nominal minus 3% inflation), giving $318,862. With $200K saved, you're $118,862 short. Continuing to save $10K/year would close the gap in roughly 7 years, after which you could stop all retirement contributions.
