Again I never said anything about FIRE idk who put that shit in, I said make sure you invest more than enough so you can control your exit, because you could get laid off and never be able to come back in.
Anyways here a back test. 1990 - 2025.
Assuming you cap out your 401(k), Roth, and built a bridge account (1250 contribution per month inflation adjusted) you would have close to $7 million dollars today, at a 3% withdrawal rate you could withdraw $201k and the portfolio should keep rising forever.
I miss the old portfolio visualizer tool, it had a great monte carlo simulation and that way better.
