I share how hitting my Coast FI number in 2023 changed my relationship with work, helped me leave bedside, reduce hours, and pursue a part-time side hustle. I walk through my free Coast FI calculator built for nurses (no opt-ins), including the inputs (age, retirement age, annual retirement spending, invested assets, contributions, expected return, and safe withdrawal rate) and how it shows your Coast FI progress and target. I also describe how knowing your number makes decisions easier, lowers anxiety, and improves money habits, and I invite you to run your numbers and comment your results. 00:00 Millionaire Without Contributing 00:54 Coast FI Explained Simply 01:51 Why Nurses Need Coast FI 05:24 Nurses Are Closer Than They Think 05:53 Free Coast FI Calculator 06:45 Calculator Inputs Walkthrough 10:09 Reading Your Results 11:29 Coast FI Changes Everything 13:44 Run Your Numbers Now Connect with me: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/nursewhoinvests Website: https://nursingflowsheet.com/ ➤ Subscribe for more videos on nursing, career growth, and financial freedom!
