As we graduate through the seven stages of FI (explanation of all 7 in episode 3, linked below), there are three main levels of Financial Independence.
You might want to dine, travel, shop, and live comfortably while being financially independent which is called Fat FI. In contrast, one might achieve Lean FI, which covers the extreme basic necessities and a very frugal lifestyle.
Ben and Andrew explain what each level means and explore the lifestyle it may afford. Knowing and understanding these segments will assist you in figuring out just how much you need in passive income and investments to achieve the lifestyle and freedom level you desire.
