FIRECalc:
A different type of retirement calculator
Thinking of chucking it all and retiring early, long before you start getting a pension or Social Security, and before you have ready access to your 401k and IRA?
The big question:
"With what you have today, and what it costs you to live, can you retire and maintain the same lifestyle?"
Averages don't tell you much at all. Retire in the early 1970s, starting with $750,000 and taking out $35,000 each year, and on
average you'll do just fine. But that average is meaningless.
