The FIRE Exit
Glossary

Coast FIRE

The point where your existing investments, left alone, should grow into a full retirement pot by your target age with no further contributions. You still work to cover today's costs, but you no longer need to save.

What it means for you

Once you hit it you can stop saving and, in theory, take a lower-paid job you enjoy while compounding does the rest.

My take

Enough invested that the pot finishes the job on its own. You stop saving, step back at work, get some life back — but you still need the paycheck to cover today.

See it in numbersWhat Kind of FIRE? Coast, barista, lean, full, fat — the five flavours of the exit, and your own number and date for each.

Every term, in plain English, on one page — the full glossary. Education, not advice.
