Frequently Asked Questions

Is Coast FIRE the same as FIRE?

No. Traditional FIRE aims for immediate financial independence and retirement. Coast FIRE assumes you continue working while your investments grow toward retirement.

Can I stop working after reaching Coast FIRE?

Usually not. Coast FIRE assumes your current expenses are covered through employment, self-employment, or other active income sources.

What investment growth rate should I use?

Many investors use long-term real return assumptions between 5% and 7%. Conservative assumptions generally produce more reliable planning results.

Does Coast FIRE require a large portfolio?

Not necessarily. The required portfolio depends on your age, retirement target, expected growth rate, and time horizon.
