How much money would you need to retire today and never have to work again? If you’re planning to retire at 65, that figure may seem distant and amorphous. You’re saving as much as you can today so that you can enjoy life as much as possible when you eventually leave your job.

F  I  R  E

For adherents to the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/15/downsides-of-early-retirement-according-to-a-37-year-old-retiree.html">financial independence, retire early </a>, or FIRE, movement, that figure is much more concrete. “Your FIRE number is the amount of money you need to live on for the rest of your life,” says <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/06/grant-sabatier-reacts-to-couple-retired-in-portugal-with-2point2-million-dollars.html">Grant Sabatier </a>, creator of financial site Millennial Money and the author of “Financial Freedom.” For many aspiring early retirees, calculating that number comes with an easy shorthand: “The way you calculate your FIRE number is multiplying your expected annual expenses by 25x,” says Sabatier, who <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/09/millionaire-grant-sabatiers-best-advice-for-building-wealth-quick.html">reached financial independence at 30 </a>. “Meaning if you spend $40,000 a year, multiplying that $40,000 by 25 would get you to a million dollars.”

As with any other one-step financial calculation, the FIRE number math is based on several assumptions and will vary based on your financial situation. Here’s what retirement experts say you need to know to figure out how much money you’ll need to retire.

Disclaimer

The FIRE number calculation is rooted in the so-called “4% rule,” which was popularized in an influential 1998 research report known as the “Trinity study.” Included in the research was an examination of past market performance to determine a safe withdrawal rate in retirement. The conclusion: In 99% of cases, retirees could withdraw 4% per year, adjusted for inflation, from a portfolio of stocks and bonds without running out of money. When calculating your FIRE number, remember that the multiple of 25 is really just an easier way of dividing by a 4% withdrawal rate. Returning to to Sabatier’s earlier example, if you intend to spend $40,000 a year in retirement, divide by 0.04 to get to your million dollars.

The math behind the FIRE number calculation

As Sabatier points out, some more recent studies suggest it may be wiser to aim for a lower withdrawal rate if you’re hoping for an extended retirement. <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/content/dam/marketing/shared/pdfs/Research/state-of-retirement-income.pdf">Researchers at Morningstar </a>peg the safe withdrawal rate at somewhere between 3.3% and 4%, accounting for factors such as relatively low yields in the bond market and relatively high valuations on stocks (which tend to dampen future returns). If you do calculate your FIRE number and find yourself getting overwhelmed by a huge number, remember that you don’t have to get there all at once, says Sabatier.

Additional Notes

Be prepared for retirement with this simple formula

Your FIRE number is the total amount of money you need to be able to consistently withdraw from for the rest of your life.

Here's how to calculate how much money you need 'for the rest of your life' after retire

This post will give you•A step by step process for finding dividend stocks•Ensuring that they are quality•A long term plan for wealth Disclaimer:*This thread is not investment advice*

Content & Disclaimer

Step 1 •Make a list of 8-10 dividend stocks that you are interested in buying•This list should contain companies that you are familiar with or have heard of before •Understanding how the company makes money is essential to begin the process

Find The Stock

Step 2 •As mentioned above, understand how the company makes money•Research their industry, their business model, and who their competition is •These are all basic searches and shouldn’t be hard to find

Do Your Research

Step 3 •Most major companies will have an “investors” tab somewhere on their website•Find this page and see what it contains•This page should have a lot of the information that you need to make informed decisions

More Research

Step 4 •Do some math. There are a few basic formulas to analyze. I promise it’s nothing you can’t handle Formulas:-Dividend yield-Dividend payout ratio-Dividend growth rate-Free Cash Flow payout

Calculate It

Step 4 continued •Dividend yieldThis is simply a calculation of the yearly dividend divided by the stock priceA yield that is too low (<1%) indicates that the company doesn’t make the dividend a priorityA yield that is too high (>6%) could indicate a struggling business

Dividend Yield

Step 4 continued •Dividend payout ratioThis tells us what % of net income is paid out in the form of dividends. A healthy % to look for is 30% to 50%This range indicates that the company is paying out a solid portion of their earnings but keeping cash on hand to growREITs are required to pay out 90% of their net earnings in the form of dividends so their payout ratio’s will look very high

Dividend Payout Ratio

Step 4 continued •Dividend growth rateThis information can be found on multiple different sites including the investors page on the companies websiteHistorically I look for a 10 year dividend growth rate that is outpacing inflation*This has become a challenge nowadays*

Dividend Growth Rate

Step 4 continued •Free Cash Flow payout This ratio is very similar to the dividend payout ratio but it uses free cash flow instead of net incomeThe formula is annual dividend per share dividend by free cash flow per shareI look for a number below 70%FCF payout allows you to have a better economic outlook on the business because net earnings can cover up some business flaws

Free Cash Flow Payout

Step 5 •We are done digging in and looking under the hood at some of the financial metrics•The next step is to supplement your own research with some quick searches on a few of your favourite sites

See Their Current Trend

Step 7 •You are ready to begin investingHopefully by now you have narrowed your selection down to some high quality dividend stocksStart buying a few shares and get comfortable with the processRemember, you are making a long term decision when you decide to buy

First Buy

Step 8 •Companies change and plans change Keep up with the companies you ownRead:-earnings reports-news headlines-industry info Your investment research shouldn’t stop when you buy a stock, it should continue as long as you hold it

Keep Updated

How to find the BEST dividend stocks for your portfolio

College teachers do not have the time — and are not required — to coddle students who are struggling before freaking out when it's the end of the semester and grades are due.When you are struggling with anything, communicate this to the adult in charge. Be proactive and honest, and take responsibility for your part in the problem. Being polite about it is important, too.

1) Communication - Clear & Honest

Many freshmen get a major taste of freedom in college and make poor dietary choices — gaining 15, or more, pounds during their first semester.They don't have their parents preparing and serving them meals anymore. Between the meal card and the access to alcohol, students can quickly spiral. So take charge of your own health. Utilize university fitness center. Seek assistance from the university's mental-health-service center.

2) Take Charge Of Your Health 

Many students rack up debt — and quickly. The taste of college freedom can feel euphoric, and students don't always make the best financial decisions; they're too busy having fun.Learn to budget your funds and keep track of your money. Make sure that you have opportunities to earn your own money - because people treat money differently when they realize how hard it is to earn.

3) Learn How To Manage Money

Many students are not ready for life beyond high school, and it isn't their fault. They need to learn some basics before they walk across the stage and accept their diploma.

The author taught in college for nine years and shares three things all parents should be teaching their kids before they head out to college.

There are various opinions and definitions on what Web3 is, let's have a look to a few mentioned:<ul><li>"A decentralized online ecosystem based on blockchain." - Gavin Woods</li><li>"An internet without Amazon, Google, and Microsoft." - Michael del Castillo, Forbes</li><li>"More a marketing buzzword than reality." - Elon Musk</li><li>"Something new and exciting which somehow involves blockchain."</li></ul>

What is Web3?

Blockchains are extremely painful to use for various reasons:<ul><li>Limited transactions</li><li>Congestion</li><li>Cost</li><li>Limited compute</li><li>Limited storage</li></ul>But despite that it has three features which make it absolutely unique:<ul><li>Trustless event ordering</li><li>Transparency</li><li>Immutability</li></ul>"Blockchain makes sense to use when trustless event ordering, transparency and immutability are absolutely essential."

Blockchain Use

Let's have a look to different situations where Trustlessness and transparency really matter:<ul><li>International borders</li><li>Powerful monopolies</li><li>War, disagreement, instability, mistrust</li><li>Employees and customers scattered around the world</li><li>Absence of courts and police</li><li>Corruptions, theft</li></ul>

Where/when do Trustlessness and Transparency Matter?

"The more of these attributes come together, the more of a compelling blockchain and web3 usecase there probably is."

Let's say you spot a project which offers a 18% guaranteed returns using web3.Now you should ask yourself:<ul><li>What do high guaranteed returns have to do with trustlesness, immutability, and transparency?</li></ul>Nothing... In this case we see a lack of basic connection.

1st Practical Examples on Web3 Use

In this case we have a Unicef project which aims to support internet access accross South America and Africa. And it operates as follows:<ul><li>Smart contract disperses funds only to schools with a working internet connection.</li><li>Donors watch funds flow in real time to connected schools.</li><li>Blokchain allows having a transparent record system.</li></ul>

2nd Practical Examples on Web3 Use

In this last examples let's imagine this scenario: Artist/Programmer/Refugees living in 18 countries want to start a company/collective/organization. The following doubts arise:<ul><li>Which currency is the special one?</li><li>Which country is the special one?</li><li>Open bank accounts is 18 countries?</li><li>How to govern company?</li><li>Audit the books - employees, local tax authorities...</li><li>Blockchain makes all of these transparent.</li></ul>

3rd Practical Examples on Web3 Use

"Smart contract built on a decentralized system which connects real world events to the flow of money begins to make a lot of sense."

Even with overwhelming rationale for blockchain, still need to deal with:<ul><li>Scaling</li><li>Compute</li><li>Storage</li><li>Transaction/s</li><li>Congestion</li><li>Cost (inverse unit economics)</li><li>Carbon Footprint</li></ul>

Blockhain: Painful but Beatiful

"Summarizing, if someone comes to you and promises you a lot of cash quickly and easily that's not really a web3 project.Instead what we're looking for are a combination of attributes that are forcing that project to use decentralized systems despite all their problems."

Web3 isn't inherently a scam, it all depends on the purpose, community and goal of the project.In this TED Talks he gives us guidelines on how to make good project judgements without falling for scams.

Is Web3 a Scam?

In this brief but intense TEDxTalks Jan Liphardt gives us guidelines and tools to detect scams on the now famous Web3.

I provide a framework and tools to assess how #web3 provides value and how to separate fact from fiction in the web3 space. Blockchains can be painful but beautiful - this means that sustainable opportunities where a web3 solution makes sense are nuanced. Jan is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at Stanford University and a Professor in Residence at StartX. For his Ph.D. work at Cambridge University, he used computers, information theory, and statistics, such as stochastic context free grammars, to find patterns in genomes. He was a physics professor at UC Berkeley until 2013, when he moved to Stanford. In 2016, he worked with Joe Biden’s cancer moonshot initiative and a social network to help patients share sensitive medical data. Jan cofounded Enya in 2018 as a way to reframe how sensitive information flows through the internet and how data analytics can be better balanced with privacy.

Create, Optimize And Test Many Strategies

Strategies that works but some algo traders are against these methods. <ul><li>Buy them cheap - when the market is going down and on sale just buy the stocks you think is on sale and that you believe will go up in the future.</li><li>DCA - dollar cost averaging, continue averaging as the asset goes down.</li><li>Grid Trading - most effective when market is ranging instead of trending.</li></ul>

Anti Algo Trading Strategies

Minimize the risk and maximize the gains. You can minimize the risk and maximize the profit by risking 1 to 5% of your equity per trade. This way: everytime you lose the allocation grows smaller and everytime you win the allocation grows bigger. Also this gives us the chance to compound our wins.

Risk Management

The easiest strategy to create by far since you just need to determine whether the asset is uptrend/downtrend. Also almost any assets either trends or ranges. The simplest trend following strategy is to: <ul><li>buy/long when price is above the 200 EMA line and </li><li>sell/short when price is below the 200 EMA line.</li></ul> You can also use other indicators or analyze other assets that tells whether the current asset you are trading is trending up or down.

Trend Following Strategy

Most often these strategies uses RSI or indicators that tells if there is a long or short momentum. If the buyers are coming in then there is a momentum upwards. Meaning you expect the price to continue upwards. It the momentum is on the bear side then you expect the price to continue downwards. Most of the time I use Trend Following Strategies together with Momentum Strategies for a higher probability of winning. It's easier to always trade with the trend.

Momentum Strategies

List of idea that could improve profitability:<ul><li>Use machine learning to predict price. Simplest is to use price closes and the percent change from current to last x bars as model input.</li><li>Check the correlation of an asset with its main index. Find assets that follows the movement of main index.</li><li>Listen to news that can affect the asset/s you trade.</li><li>Use mathematical formula or statistics to find alphas on the asset or market.</li><li>Create a websocket that listens and gets order books for every buy or sell in an asset, record it and then later you can process it using machine learning.</li></ul>

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Create a websocket that saves transaction, price plus volume and order book of an asset.

Stop trying to act rich. Mark Zuckerberg literally wears the same boring t-shirt and jeans every day. Blowing money on designer goods won’t get you anywhere except perhaps one person saying, “that’s nice.” Stick to being happy with what you already have. “Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time.” - Margaret Bonnano

1. Understand Rich vs Wealth

This means putting a specific amount of money in your savings account before paying anything else, such as bills and living costs. This way you guarantee that you’re always putting money aside to invest in yourself rather than using what’s left. “Governments don't want an intelligent population because people who can think critically can't be They want a public just smart enough to pay taxes and dumb enough to keep voting and electing corrupt politicians.” - George Carlin

3. Pay yourself first.

Know this won’t happen overnight. You need to be consistently growing this side project, which means growing your social presence and building an audience. If you don’t see results right away, keep going until you do.

Economic inequality is a symptom of processes=some good, some bad- that drive the global economy. It's the residue of a post-industrialized age.

On Economic inequality

"Inequality is not the same thing as unfairness; and, to my mind, it is the latter that has incited so much political turmoil in the rich world today" says Deaton

Inequality or unfairness

<ul><li>Health financing</li><li>Mergers of large companies</li><li>Sluggish federal minimum wage</li><li>Diminishing worker power</li><li>The rise of temps</li><li>The growth of the stock market</li><li>Corporate wins in politics</li></ul>

What's unfair

The rising unfairness is not a consequence of seemingly unstoppable forces like globalization and technology, but of a dysfunctional economy.

Key framework to help build wealth

It is crucial to only invest in businesses that you know about. You improve your chances of building wealth if you stick with investment areas that fits your portfolio of expertise.

Focus on your own strengths

It is important to go easy on yourself if you miss a good investment opportunity. This is mostly due to an urgent desire to build wealth. But investment is about a long-term stand. So, waiting for a great investment idea is better than passing on a good investment opportunity.

Wait for as long as it takes

There are always new schemes to get rich in the market. It is essential not to fall into a short-term moneymaking trap. It is mostly a scam. Therefore, you should diversify in multiple businesses that has positioned themselves with strong customer buying trends.
