How Coast FIRE Works

Coast FIRE means your existing investments will grow to cover your target annual living expenses by your desired retirement age via compound returns alone. Once achieved, you only need to earn enough to pay your current living expenses — you no longer need to save for retirement.

Boundary constraint: Coast math assumes you never withdraw from principal early and that your real return holds over the entire time horizon.
