Hey {{first_name}} ,
Many professionals spend time thinking about their next promotion, career pivot, or big opportunity. Fewer spend time thinking about how financial flexibility can expand those options.
Traditional retirement planning often focuses on building enough savings to eventually stop working. Coast Fire introduces a twist on this idea: reaching a point where your financial foundation gives you more freedom in the career decisions you make along the way.
Coast Fire is a financial milestone you reach when you've invested enough that compound growth can carry your savings toward your retirement goal over time, creating more career flexibility long before traditional retirement. The concept builds on a common financial independence framework: estimate how much money you would need to support your future lifestyle, then work backward to determine how much you need invested today.
In a recent Tech Ladies event, financial coaches Erika Ho and Alana D'Angelica shared how reaching Coast Fire influenced their own career decisions. Their experiences highlighted how greater financial flexibility can create more room to navigate layoffs, pursue meaningful work, explore entrepreneurship, or make career decisions based on factors beyond compensation alone.
For Tech Ladies thinking more intentionally about their future, Coast Fire offers an interesting framework for balancing long-term financial goals with present-day career decisions.
Read the full blog to learn how Coast Fire works, how to calculate your number, and the strategies shared during the event.
