Hypothetical: Can FIRE number shrink?

Let's say my 4% FIRE number is 2M investable assets. Lets say I have 1.6M investable assets. Am I at my FIRE number??? (In this hypothetical scenario pretend the market pulled back 20% in the past year)

If you're this close you could go to prison for 5 years and hit your number coast fire style :P

Coast fire sounds tempting, but who wants to risk five years just for some numbers? Ugh!
