What is Coast FIRE?
Coast FIRE means you have already invested enough for compound interest to do the heavy lifting. You may still work, but the pressure to save aggressively drops.
Em português: é o ponto em que o teu capital atual, deixado a crescer, pode chegar ao teu número FIRE no futuro.
Coast FIRE formula
A simplified formula is: Coast FIRE = FIRE Number / (1 + expected annual return) ^ years until retirement.
The result depends heavily on age, expected return, inflation and how conservative you want to be.
Why it matters
Coast FIRE is psychologically powerful because it rewards progress before full independence. It can justify career changes, reduced hours or a slower path without losing the long-term goal.
