FIRE Plan on a $250K Salary

On a $250,000 salary with a 35% savings rate, you'd invest $87,500/year while living on $162,500/year. Of your savings, $37,500/year goes into Bitcoin — the engine that drives the early retirement math.

Without the Bitcoin allocation, putting that 15% into additional stocks instead, your portfolio at retirement reaches $944K — compared to $1.6Mwith Bitcoin under the Power Law model. That's the difference Bitcoin can make.
