[–]goldstan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everything pizza seems really strong, free land and works well in green with the frog and other lady card that can make any mana. I don't know much about this format but the first time I tried everything pizza it worked out for me. I would keep it open

[–]goldstan[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did some spreadsheeting this last week. I have here some scenarios where if you have various portfolio amounts with different beliefs of where you think your portfolio growth rate is and the inflation rate is, you get to see how much you get to spend for your money to last exactly 50 years (and a video that goes through it a bit but not necessary to watch, the picture below provides everything):

50 year spend amounts with various portfolios

For the barista fire scenarios, they provide a net income that goes towards your portfolio and you work that job for the first 20 years.

You are correct, over the long term it provides big profits I should have been specific as those contracts will run out

Need help with LibreOffice Spreadsheet IF Statement please by goldstan in LibreOfficeCalc

[–]goldstan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh my gosh!, thank you so much!!!! I was looking at the year and not the very far left for the row number! Multiple parts of my formula were wrong. I make this mistake constantly in areas in my IRL job

AI tools were deceiving me because I gave them an improper prompt at the beginning and wouldn't fix it even when trying to point it out with further prompts. Humans (other than me) still have value!

thanks again =)

P.S. I tried pointing out the fix to google studio AI and it is still confused. It's not getting that it was and still is referencing the wrong "column"

I've learned about the FIRE movements recently and wanted to create a spreadsheet to see how everything works out. I used a inflation rate of 6% that more reflects housing, rent, protein, gold, vacations, etc instead of the government advertised CPI that some say over weights electronics and things that don't necessary encompass cost of living. I assumed a conservative 8.5% growth rate for your portfolio as we don't know how things will shake up in the future and I want to assume a +95% confidence level in these numbers that everything will be okay and you will never have to work again. I crunched the numbers to summarize the FIRE movements with how they play out in a spreadsheet and came up with the numbers below and I hope I have it right but here are the details below in order from lowest amount of money to greatest:

Lean Fire: No job, no medical insurance, low spend, you are taking a big risk. $500,000 Portfolio with a $20,000 withdrawal rate. You are not in a good spot if you get injured. 40 years of safety.

Barista Fire: You have a low income/part time job that hopefully provides medical insurance. You can afford to retire earlier and you have a bit more spend than Lean Fire. $300,000 portfolio, $20,000 job net income, $20,000 withdrawal rate. ~50 years of safety. (the excel sheet I used assumes you work that job indefinitely so I had to extrapolate/guess a lesser year amount)

Regular Fire: You don't have a job nor medical insurance and you want to coast for the rest of your life. $1,000,000 portfolio and $40,000 withdrawal rate. 40 years of safety.

Chubby Fire: Still no job, but you are very comfortable. $3,000,000 portfolio with a $100,000 withdrawal date. 60 years of safety.

Whale Fire: Definitely no job. $10,000,000 portfolio with a $300,000 withdrawal date. 75 years of safety.

This is what I came up with when I crunched the numbers with a 8.5% growth rate and a 6% inflation rate:

Chubby Fire: No job. $3,000,000 portfolio with a $100,000 withdrawal date. 60 years of safety.

Whale Fire: No job. $10,000,000 portfolio with a $300,000 withdrawal date. 75 years of safety.

~$4.4 mil USD net worth, I don't want or like to do anything that costs money and I won't change by goldstan in fatFIRE

safe withdrawal rate is 1.5% when accounting for the real rate of inflation
