Balancing Practice Ownership and FIRE Dreams
Dr. Sharma faces the challenge of balancing the demands of owning and operating a small medical practice with her desire to achieve financial independence and potentially retire early. Her significant student loan debt of $280,000, combined with the complexities of managing practice finances, makes planning for early retirement a daunting task. Anya needs a clear understanding of the savings required to retire and a strategy for reaching that goal while still paying down debt and maintaining her practice.
Using the Early Retirement Calculator, Dr. Sharma was able to determine that she needs approximately $5 million to achieve her desired FIRE lifestyle, based on an estimated annual expense of $200,000 and a 4% withdrawal rate. By inputting her current savings, annual income ($350,000), and projected investment returns, the calculator estimated that she could reach her FIRE number in approximately 15 years, assuming she continues to max out her 401k and backdoor Roth contributions and dedicates a further $50,000 annually to investment.
The calculator allowed Dr. Sharma to adjust various parameters, such as investment return assumptions and annual expenses, to explore different scenarios and stress-test her retirement plan. She could also use the output to see the effects of different investment allocations and debt repayment strategies.
