자주 묻는 질문

What is Fat FIRE?

Retiring with enough to support a comfortable, high-expense lifestyle ($60K–150K+/year). More cushion and flexibility than Lean FIRE.

How much portfolio do I need for Fat FIRE?

Divide annual expenses by withdrawal rate. Example: $100K/year ÷ 0.04 = $2.5M portfolio.

What about required minimum distributions (RMDs)?

Traditional IRAs require RMDs at age 73 (2023 rules, may change). Plan for tax implications.
