30: How to Reach FIRE Even Faster With a 401(K) / Superannuation
Manage episode 298300212 series 2955734
š The race to FIRE is a tough one. It takes years of dedication to investing and growing your portfolio before you reach financial independence and you can retire early. When you retire early, you need a bigger nest egg because youāll be drawing income from your investments for decades longer than traditional retirement. And it takes decades to build a portfolio thatās large enough. But what if there was a way to speed up your journey? You might be able to reach FIRE even earlier by taking advantage of a program thatās sitting right under your noseā¦ š¤
This episode discusses topics like:
š Why simple FIRE calculations on the internet fall short and leave you vulnerable to running out of money or having to go back to work;
š How FIRE works with an age-restricted retirement program like superannuation in Australia or 401 (K) in the US; and
š How much earlier you can retire using a phased approach to early retirement as opposed to the simple FIRE calculations out on the internet (the 25x rule).
