30: How to Reach FIRE Even Faster With a 401(K) / Superannuation
🎙 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 you’ll be drawing income from your investments for decades longer than traditional retirement. And it takes decades to build a portfolio that’s 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 that’s sitting right under your nose… 🤔
This episode discusses topics like:
🌟 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;
🌟 How FIRE works with an age-restricted retirement program like superannuation in Australia or 401 (K) in the US; and
🌟 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).
