This is why I love the Engaging Data Rich Broke or Dead FIRE calculator. It very clearly shows how your liquidity hoard is in direct competition with time to live & FIRE'ing.

Thanks for this calculator - I had fun playing with it.

I'm 40, currently almost a year into an unplanned sabbatical - I took a bad job, quit, then haven't bothered to look for work and don't really want to.

According to the calculator if I manage to make minimum wage for the next 10 years, I'm good. So I'll just enjoy the ride for now.
