What is Fat FIRE?

Fat FIRE is financial independence with a generous retirement budget — travel, a bigger home, no frugality. Because the target spending is higher, the portfolio needed is larger: desired annual spending ÷ your safe withdrawal rate. It typically means a higher savings rate now, a longer runway, or both.
