How to fire financial independence retire early

FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

As part of the Financial Independence, Retire Early movement (FIRE), people are encouraged to save and invest massive amounts of money to retire earlier than they would otherwise be able to.

IMPORTANT TAKEAWAYS

  • Investing in and saving for retirement early (FIRE) is a financial Independence(movement) characterized by extreme frugality and safety.
  • FIRE advocates aim to retire early by conserving up to 70% of their annual incomes.
  • In 1992, two financial gurus wrote a book called “Your Money or Your Life,” which inspired the FIRE movement.

Finance your retire early (FIRE): How to become financially independent

  • Following the FIRE movement’s guidance, followers may be able to retire decades before the traditional retirement age of 65 by putting up to 70% of income into savings.
  • The FIRE plan isn’t a guaranteed strategy, and conservatism might have to be sacrificed to provide the quality of life expected in the future.
  • Initially inspired by Vicki Robin’s 1992 best-selling book Your Money or Your Life, FIRE represents one of the core tenets of that book: comparing expenses and time spent at work to the amount of time left in your life. To determine the cost of a purchase, the time worked must be compared.
  • FIRE was embraced by Millennials, who are keen to retire before 65, exclusively. Extreme-savings lifestyle advocates often start by working several years in the traditional workforce while saving up to 70% of their income. 
  • After accumulating a $1 million yearly expenditure, they may resign from their day jobs or completely cease working.
  • FIRE devotees typically withdraw around 3% to 4% of their savings annually to cover their living expenses after retiring early. It may be necessary to monitor expenses and reallocate their investments under their savings to maintain this lifestyle.
  •  In low-interest rate environments or when the stock market falls, the FIRE plan may not be feasible.

Factors affecting FIRE

FIRE movement adherents have several styles that describe the lifestyle they can and will embrace

  • Fat FIRE: Savings by conventional investors who live a more traditional lifestyle. less frugal than lean fire; hence, it would take more time to achieve fire 
  • Lean FIRE: Describes a frugality-focused lifestyle that relies on extreme savings and minimization of consumption. Lean fire means maximum saving and retiring early.
  • Barista FIRE: Anyone who quits their traditional 9-to-5 job but works part-time as a means of paying for current expenses, which would erode their retirement savings otherwise. Barista means here you save enough money to allow you to retire from your main job. Early but instead of not working at all, you work part-time, e.g., freelance work, pursue a dream career/startup, etc.
  • Coast FIRE: Those who claim to follow the theory also works a part-time job, but these followers have enough saved to cover their living expenses and retirement plan.

INCOME IS TWO TYPES

(1): Active income: Active income is what I earn if I work.

(2): Passive income: passive income means do not work naturally. Investing in stocks that pay dividends as those dividends can provide passive income or can be rolled over into your investment portfolio; as I mentioned earlier stocks, are not the only option for anyone who wants to retire faster or live less frugal 

FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

(1): passive income exceeds active income.

(2): Income sources apart from your job (other sources of income).

FIRE MOVEMENT (financial independence retire early) based on three measure concepts.

(a): EXTREME SAVING

(b): FRUGALITY

(c): GENERATING OF PASSIVE INCOME

Recently, I’ve been thinking about extreme savings.

(1): Extreme Saving:

  • I have been saving for a long time, but I think I should do more. It’s not about living in poverty or denying yourself; it’s about spending smartly on your money. 
  • There are some ways that you can save without feeling like you’re sacrificing a lot. Saving is not always easy because money has to be set aside at the moment, and with lots of spending in the meantime. Here are some tips to help you save.
  • Extreme saving 50% to 70% of your total income 

The rule is 50%30%20% is that;

Income of =50% of needs 

Income of =30% of wants 

Income of =20% of saving

The rule of applying 50%30%20% to that person to retire early in 40then your mentality to retire 58 if you retire 40 so just before 40then no one rule is.

Extreme saving is a must to 70% of your total income going for saving.

(2): Frugality

  •  We are talking about the concept of frugality which means you think twice before spending your check out on what you need.
  • Determine your saving percentage 
  • Calculate your target retirement amount.
  • Retirement amount = 25 annual expenses 

ASSUME =Expenses is $ 1lakh

So 1×25 =$ 25lakh my retirement fund

  • CALCULATE, how long will it take you to achieve fire?

(3): Generating Of Passive Income

  • Money work for you; you don’t work for money, e.g., RENTAL INCOME, FD, INTEREST INCOME, DIVIDEND INCOME

 MAGICAL FORMULA IS

INCOME-SAVING = EXPENDITURE 

  • Get your insured so that your dependents are taken care of 

Build an emergency fund back -up plan is different from the peoples I give you an example

CASE 1

A young employee with no dependents 

  • 50% Equity scheme 
  • 20% of direct equities
  • 10% of index ETF
  • 10% of international fund 
  • 10% of the liquid scheme

Financial independence, early retirement stands for FIRE. People who adhere to this movement live below their means so that they can invest more in early retirement and part-time employment. Saving more and not spending more of your income makes you work faster.
