The journey to FIRE is simple as below:

1) Consistent investment in stock from the remuneration from the full-time employment. Such investment strategy will lead to the increase in generated dividend.

2) Maintain or reduce (if possible) the expense.

It does not matter how the market is faring. As long as the generated dividends cover the expense, one will have the option at his/her disposal.

There are things you can easily control (savings) and things you can’t easily control (returns). The other thing you can control is time. The earlier you start the easier it is to turn that 10 year period into a 11 or 12 year or 20 year period.

Also, the thing that I would add to your analysis is that dividends should help the 10 year returns picture (or did you already include that?).

This is a great read for anyone on edge about investing.

It looks to me that your potential for earnings are way greater than your potential for loss. Save what you can and let the market do it’s thing!
