The Coast FI Number That Changed My Retirement Timeline

Lucas and Luna break down the Coast FI concept — the point where your existing savings will grow to full retirement by traditional age without additional contributions. Using a real 32-year-old earning $68,000 with $47,000 saved, they show how hitting $88,000 by 35 lets you stop saving for retirement entirely and still reach $1.1 million by 67. They walk through the math, the assumptions around a 7% real return, and why this shifts the psychological weight for early savers. Luna challenges whether the model works if you want to retire before 67, and they explore the lean FIRE vs Coast FI overlap.
