From Debt to Lean FIRE: A Programmer Scenario
Lean FIRE

FIRE age: 38

Software engineer

US Midwest (example)

Annual income

$120,000

FIRE number

$1.2M

Suppose a 25-year-old starts with $50,000 in student loans. By keeping the savings rate at 60% as income grows and investing in broad index funds, this scenario reaches Lean FIRE at 38. The key assumption: lifestyle stays flat as the salary rises.

Key strategies
Automatic monthly index fund investing
Strict zero-based budgeting
Moving to a lower cost-of-living area
Repairing instead of replacing
Takeaways
  • Compound growth rewards an early start
  • Lifestyle inflation is the biggest enemy of FIRE
  • Geographic arbitrage can shorten the timeline by years
