10 Years: From 35 to Retired at 45

The difference between retiring at 45 and 50isn't just 5 more years of work — it's 5 fewer years of portfolio growth AND 5 more years of withdrawals. That double impact makes each year of earlier retirement exponentially more expensive.

With 10 years of accumulation starting at 35, the Power Law model projects a portfolio of $692K by age 45. However, this may not sustain $60K/year expenses long-term — the portfolio depletes at age 78.
