Coast FIRE: A Flexible Middle-Ground Route to Financial Independence
Coast FIRE is a middle-ground path to financial independence that requires less aggressive saving than traditional FIRE; once you hit your Coast FIRE number, your existing investments can continue to grow while you cover current expenses, enabling reduced work hours, career changes, or self-employment, illustrated by the Hills and Amberly Grant. The plan is flexible and should be recalibrated over time as life changes.
