My min Fire number is $60,000.
From there, calculate how much savings you'll need to generate that much income without having a paycheck. I use the 4% rule, which says that retirees can safely withdraw about 4% of their savings a year without running out of money.
To generate my $60k I’ll need to save $1.5 million.
If you want to find your number it’s as easy as calculating 25 times your current annual expenses. That number could last indefinitely with regular 4% yearly withdrawals)
If I want to retire closer to what I really want I will want $120,000 which is $3 million.

Ye I know how it works :p
Thats why I need 1.5million usd, I dont need more than 60k a year even with a tax procentage of 37% :p
Going to 60K would be less than I make now so that's my min.
Ah, makes sense hehe.
Well its way less than I make now xD
I make 22k usd after taxes. And the taxes are 37% ish
