Dexter Zhuang achieved Coast FIRE, which grants him flexibility and peace of mind without the need to continue saving for retirement. Using a retirement calculator, he assessed his future expenses conservatively, factoring in potential family costs. Zhuang appreciates not aiming for early retirement but values the freedom that financial independence provides. He plans to work on projects he enjoys while covering day-to-day expenses, maintaining the potential to invest further in retirement or other savings goals.
"Coast FIRE is a place where I get more flexibility, but it doesn't mean that I can stop working because I still need to cover my expenses on a day-to-day basis."
"I don't see myself as someone who wants to retire early and stop working. The retirement age that I put into the Coast FIRE calculator is 67."
