My numbers: - Age: [YOUR_AGE] - Annual income (after tax): $[AMOUNT] - Annual expenses: $[AMOUNT] - Current investment portfolio: $[AMOUNT] - Monthly investment contribution: $[AMOUNT] - Expected annual return: [7-10]% - Target safe withdrawal rate: [3-4]% Please calculate and present: 1. **My FIRE Number** — The exact portfolio size I need (Annual Expenses ÷ SWR) 2. **Years to FIRE** — When I'll hit this number at current savings rate 3. **Monthly Passive Income at FIRE** — What my portfolio generates 4. **Three Scenarios:** - Current path (no changes) - Aggressive (increase savings by 20%) - Coast FIRE (stop contributing, let compound growth finish) 5. **Savings Rate Analysis** — My current rate and what each 5% increase does 6. **The "One More Year" Math** — How each extra working year increases safety margin 7. **Biggest Risks** — Sequence of returns, healthcare, inflation Present as a clear roadmap with specific ages and dollar amounts.
