Why this recommendation
The honest reasoning behind this result — not just the number.
At this pace you reach financial independence around age 64 — about 34 years away — with $1.5M invested.
- ✓ Your FIRE number is $1.5M — 25× your $60K/yr retirement spend (the 4% rule).
- ✓ You invest $1.5K/mo on top of $60K already invested.
- ✓ Targets use a 3.9% real return (your 7% return minus 3% inflation).
- ✓ You're 4% of the way to full FIRE today.
Your $1.5K/mo contributions compounding at a 3.9% real return.
Every extra $6K/yr of lifestyle spend raises the FIRE number by 25× that amount.
Real returns vary — a weaker market or higher inflation than 3% pushes the date out.
Automate a small monthly increase; even $200/mo more pulls the date closer.
