Lean FIRE Number vs Safe Withdrawal Rate

公式

Lean FIRE

Lean FIRE means retiring early on a below-average budget. The threshold is typically under $40,000/year (individual) or $60,000/year (couple) in expenses.

Formula

Lean FIRE Number = Lean Annual Expenses / Withdrawal Rate

At 4% withdrawal rate:

  • $25,000/year expenses = $625,000 needed
  • $30,000/year expenses = $750,000 needed
  • $40,000/year expenses = $1,000,000 needed
  • Lean FIRE Lifestyle

  • Housing: Low-cost area, paid-off home, or house hacking
  • Transportation: Used car, biking, public transit
  • Food: Cooking at home, minimal dining out
  • Entertainment: Free/low-cost activities
  • Healthcare: ACA marketplace, health sharing

    常见问题

    Is Lean FIRE sustainable long-term?

    It can be, but it leaves little margin for unexpected expenses. Consider building a buffer (aiming for 10-20% above your Lean FIRE number) and having a flexible spending plan that adjusts withdrawals in down markets.

    What about healthcare on a lean budget?

    At low income levels, you may qualify for significant ACA subsidies, making health insurance affordable. Lean FIRE income often falls within the subsidy-eligible range. Research your state marketplace options.

    How is Lean FIRE different from regular FIRE?

    Regular FIRE targets average spending (roughly $40,000-$100,000/year). Lean FIRE targets below-average spending. Fat FIRE targets above-average spending. All use the same withdrawal rate math with different expense levels.
