All depends how much your withdrawal rate with 2.4MCHF is.
Maybe just cut down some big ticket luxury stuff which would not hurt (travel less far, postpone a big ticket purchase…).
@moderators : if this gets into a bigger discussion, it might be worth an own thread.
I guess the FI number depends on your calculated withdrawn rate. However, of course there is never a guarantee that your money would cover all your expenses until end of your life.
Furthermore, the near term future will be very interesting as the hole FIRE became big and popular in a time with soring share prices, almost 0% inflation, etc. we all knew that these were exceptional times but as it was rather a long bull run it became the norm. Now it will be interesting to see how people react under these different circumstances.
If you opted out from your old job and felt happy about that I would not go back. However, it may help you to be more relaxed to have some income in these times just to sleep better.
Sequence of returns in the first few years after retiring is the killer element that can hit you, even if you adhere to all conventional assumption like a reasonable SWR.
So yes, you may want to consider saving and reducing withdrawals in these years (e.g. postpone expensive travels typically planned after RE) or picking up a side income to stay on track. On the other hand, it looks like you peaked at nearly 15% above your taget number, and aren’t too far below it yet (though that also wasn’t an actual crash so far), so certainly no need for too much concern.
I think this is a very important aspect. Many, myself included, have no idea what an actual crisis feels like, especially not a prolonged one with many dire years. If the reactions seen in such forums to comparatively minor events are an indication, many will eventually panic sell and loose their FIRE possibility in the process. If that sell-off were to begin, it would also be a self-fulfilling prophecy, and retail investors (esp. in the US) could create a crash not seen in a very long time.
Fully agree and I’m also in the same situation not having experienced a major bear market with considerable own money invested. I already though of getting out of the market and back in or buy some puts or short mini-futures. I let you know once I do that as this a usually a good indication that the market turns 
.
Honestly, now I still feel good but already my company share portfolio which is restricted has seen a considerable down which would impact my dream of a sabbatical leave with my entire family in 2024.
Hi there,
I am proud to reach my first step just before Christmas holidays : 100.000 CHF 
Q1 and Q2 2022 where not so good in term of savings because of my 3A (I closed my life insurance 3A and my cryptos investments were not in a good way…).
Objective for 2023 : investing in a renting property.
Is none of you tracking separatly what money you invest in stock, and what they yield ? meaning it would be possible to separate investment from passive income in the net worth ?
Yes we are (at least one of us).
There are some charts further upwards from earlier (planned to update soon 
)
Time for a 2022 update from my end.
YoY: ~10% / 38k
As for most of us, bit of a slowdown this year (investment components turning negative, basically eaten up ~20% of my savings).
Quite of a rollercoaster ride. 
I did remain quite “stock-light” in the grand scheme of things, so the downward impact has at least been muffled.
Zooming out, the “polynomial” growth has ended, but the wave-y plateau looks a bit less scary.
Putting into perspective savings vs. “investments performance”:
Cheers to the new year and return to nonlinear (and hopefully 6-digit) growth for everyone! 
Very nice progress! Do you also track 3a and pension plan?
Yes, 3rd pillar sits under “stocks” (and tiny bit of cash), 2nd under “bonds”.
I have some further breakdowns, but I think I spammed with enough of charts already.
I kept DCAing here and there (although less than I would in a “usual” year) so it doesn’t show as much.
I will see the actual performance when I generate a yearly report from IBKR - pretty sure it will be very visible then.
(Just checked - around -20% TWR/MWR)
But the last chart should show investment nominal behavior, presenting part of “the drop” at least.
For NW tracking - I pretty much just do a “simple snapshot” of all my accounts once a month, so do not track to such level of detail (for each single equity purchase).
I do take note of “cash flow” from savings into IBKR and 3rd pillar, but don’t go much further than that.
Then I have another set of sheets tracking my investments overall - but vs. avg buy price only - as that’s what I am most interested in.
For detailed “lot performance” I can check my portfolio on Yahoo finance, as I take note when I buy there.
Nice progress and reports !
We cannot see the negative performance of global economy for 2022 (-22%) on your stock investments
How do you track your savings invested ?
Another year, another update:
As expected during a weaker market phase my cash-rich stock picks outperformed the market drastically despite some individual disappointments (not exactly sure yet but slightly positive return). My general portfolio lost (surprisingly) a lot less than the market too (around -10%). Made the majority of the return with investments in energy stocks, investing in very late 2021 and again in early 2022 (feeling a bit guilty to have then profited from the Ukraine invasion, but energy prices in Europe increased in the six months prior to that already, just nobody seemed to care yet). Also some nice trades with put options (market seemed eager to again and again ignore macro-economic trends).
On top came substantial new savings, and most importantly I will get a very big promotion, and should be able to save some 250k in 2023.
Nice exponential progression and congrats on those savings!
I started investing from 2018. Predicted net worth is simply adding a constant number to previous year’s actual net worth. The constant number is what I expect to save. This year, I would have done better if I had sold everything at the end of last year
What a year! Despite >200K income and >100K investments in my ETF portfolio, the overall net worth is down considerably. But let’s not despair, stocks will go up in the long run… 
I started tracking in 2020. Actually quite happy with 2022´s progression considering the markets. Hope to cross 1mo CHF this year.
Awful progress this year. First plateau in net worth growth in, like, forever… but at least not a minus.
In a way I’m happy that we still have some cash powder dry for 2023.
2022 Year update
Slowed down the progression due to investment performance but all in all happy about promotion and girlfriend moving in with me.
Particularly happy about the changed perspective around spending money, it took me 4 years before I actually realized you can be frugal and still enjoy life with a tiny bit of lifestyle inflation (compared to life in Italy before).
