Coast FIRE age

What is your target coast FIRE age? “Coast FIRE” also applies to followers with a part-time job, but these proponents do have enough saved to fund their retirement and current living expenses. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financial-independence-retire-early-fire.asp

What's the difference between barista fire and coast fire?

Facebook QIXQ16 Jan 2, 2019

Coastfire would be still using your existing skillset and experience. Baristafire is the idea of downlevelling to a skill-less job that requires near-0 expertise, often retail, but still offers health insurance and/or other benefits. Baristafire is a bit of a pipedream because those no-skill jobs can still be stressful to keep, even more incompetent line managers, and often little actual control over when your working hours are.

>50 is just regular retirement, not FIRE !

Last I checked, retirement age in the US is 67 and 62 is an early retirement. I do agree that 67 > 50.

Well technically yes. But it's like winning the participation trophy. Yes you completed the race, but dint come close to showing any real skill.
