There are three major investing milestones that can unlock financial freedom long before you reach your retirement goal. And once your investments reach a certain size, compound growth can start doing more of the work, potentially allowing you to stop investing without dramatically delaying retirement. In this video, I'll show you how to calculate your first major investing milestone, how Coast FIRE can make saving for retirement optional, and the point where your investments could earn more in a year than your entire family spends. I'll also share how reaching Coast FIRE allowed me to quit my job, travel the country with my family, and stop aggressively saving for retirement. **TIMESTAMPS:** 00:00 3 Investing Milestones That Change Everything 00:40 Milestone #1: One Year of Expenses Invested 02:00 How Long It Takes to Reach Your First Milestone 03:25 Quicken Simplifi (Sponsor) 04:45 Milestone #2: Coast FIRE 05:28 How to Calculate Your Coast FIRE Number 07:37 How Coast FIRE Changed My Life 08:47 Milestone #3: When Your Investments Outearn Your Expenses 10:33 Why Saving More Barely Matters After This 12:02 What Happens If You STOP Investing? 13:52 Your 3 Steps to Financial Freedom **DISCLAIMER:** This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
