So upon discussion of FIRE with a collegue who is in a surgical subspecialty mid 30's (single 5 years attending) he was saying that he has already accumulated this amount post tax and has only recently dumped it into the market and he considers himself already in the fat fire range (100k/yr post tax) and he plans on going part time in the next 2-3 years. I tried to convince him that he needs 25x (2.5m) minimum so he is actually quite a bit short but he claims since his amount is post tax money in a brokerage account that he needs less than that and believes what he has accomplished to be more difficult. Just trying to figure out if there is merit to what he is saying?
