I finally made it! After 11 years of full time work, I am one step closer to being able to retire early. Currently, I am at the level of being able to Poverty Fire.
Poverty Fire
The poverty level is defined as "the minimum level of income deemed adequate in a particular country". According to the Department of Health and Human Services, that number is $12,760 yearly for a single individual in 2020.
The following chart shows the amount with different family sizes.
2020 POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR THE 48 CONTIGUOUS STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA | |
---|---|
PERSONS IN FAMILY/HOUSEHOLD | POVERTY GUIDELINE |
For families/households with more than 8 persons, add $4,480 for each additional person. | |
1 | $12,760 |
2 | $17,240 |
3 | $21,720 |
4 | $26,200 |
5 | $30,680 |
6 | $35,160 |
7 | $39,640 |
8 | $44,120 |
So essentially, if I am able to keep my spending below $12,760 and I can generate an income of more than $12,760 from my savings, I can retire.
Savings
401K - $221,162
Roth IRA - $102,735
Rollover IRA - $34,808
Total = $358,705
Income
Utilizing a 4% withdrawal rate, my income from my retirement savings would generate a grand total of:
$14,348
So What's Next?
Honestly, I am not really sure.
First, I have to work on my expenses. They are still currently above my theoretical income.
Second, I still like me job. There is no rush to quit my job at this moment. However, the plan is to work part-time within the next 5 years.
