Long time reader/lurker. Appreciate anyone who can break this down for me in simple terms.
Accelerated savings rate until you reach the magical jump off point, got it. What I don't get is this:
I have been steadily increasing my savings rate to my 401 k which I shifted to Roth 401k once available, for some time, and will continue to do so. Say I reach my number for FIRE at 40 something, how do you actually access the funds if its primarily in retirement accounts that don't allow you to withdraw until a certain point?
I have read the various sticky's on this but don't feel like I have a solid understanding.
I work for a mega corp who has a very nice retirement situation for us with Fidelity with very low fees. Seems like I would just sock it all away in there in index funds.
