Early Financial Independence (FIRE)

1. Core Theory

The FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early) advocates saving aggressively (often 50-70% of income) to build a portfolio large enough to retire in your 30s or 40s. Variants include Lean FIRE (frugal retirement) and Fat FIRE (luxurious retirement).

2. Formula & Framework

FIRE Portfolio Target = Monthly Lifestyle Expenses * 12 * 25

3. Worked Example

To sustain a $3,000 monthly spend, you need a portfolio of $900,000 in index funds and fixed income.
