Stay safe
Real teachers never ask you to send money, buy crypto or join a "platform". If someone promises guaranteed returns, they are almost certainly running a scam, however nice they seem.
Coast FIRE calculator
Is there a number where you could stop saving for retirement and let time do the rest? Often there is. Here's how far you are from yours.
Coast FIRE is a planning concept, not a company or product. All growth uses the real return = (1 + return) ÷ (1 + inflation) − 1, so results are in today's dollars unless labeled future $ (nominal).
Your inputs
Current balance ÷ Coast FIRE number
Growth projection with milestones
Today's $When the green line crosses the gold line, you've hit Coast FIRE: from then on, even with no new contributions, the balance could grow to your FIRE number by your target age (if returns match the assumption).
What if the next 30 years are kinder, or rougher?
Edit any value to see how much the result depends on assumptions.
Lean, Traditional, Fat or Barista: which one fits?
Same balance and contributions, different spending levels. Edit spending and part-time income.

Each lesson takes 1–3 minutes, about as long as a kettle takes to boil, and ends with one quick question to check it stuck.
