FIREnomics

FIREnomics is a financial-independence publication that treats retirement math like an engineering problem: expected value, sequence-of-returns risk, and calibration instead of motivational slogans. Recent pieces stress-test the 4 percent rule and show where it breaks at 50-year horizons, examine why FIRE portfolio concentration risk quietly breaks 15-year plans when too much rides on a handful of mega-cap stocks, price involuntary FIRE and the bridge income needed after late-career layoffs, walk through withdrawal strategy and the math of spending fear, reframe desired salary the way an investor would price it at a 40 percent savings rate, and run the expected-value math on guru courses against 15 years of plain index returns. Every guide shows its assumptions: the return series, the inflation handling, the failure year, and what changes when you shift spending in the first decade of retirement. Categories cover investing, saving, income, retirement strategy, and the lifestyle side of financial independence. Written for people who want to know which decade of their plan breaks first, not which guru to believe. Run your own numbers against the guides at https://www.firenomics.com/.
