Thanks Liz! You nailed it – someone who wants a net worth north of $5m likely does need some help from compound interest. For most people who are on the path to F.I. who live a fairly frugal lifestyle, they don’t need nearly that amount.

I found your blog just a couple of weeks ago but have been hooked ever since. I completely agree that savings rate plays a much bigger role than your “compounding years” in regards to FI. I love the graphs that you include with each post. Keep up the great work!

I love this. Perhaps the reason she thinks people should take advantage of their compounding years is so they can have $5 or even $10 million in their investment accounts by retirement. But most people in the FIRE movement don’t need that much to live a wonderful life πŸ™‚
