Has the FIRE Number Gone from $1M to $2.5M?
In this episode of the BiggerPockets Money podcast, Mindy Jensen and Scott Trench tackle one of the biggest questions in the FIRE movement: Why has the traditional $1 million FIRE goal grown to $2.5 million or more? They discuss how inflation, rising living costs, lifestyle changes, and retirement planning have reshaped what financial independence looks like today. You'll learn how the 4% rule, healthcare, geography, and spending habits influence your financial independence number.
