Classic Financial Independence Numbers
Traditional Approach

Portfolio to cover security (4% rule)
Freedom FI Number

Portfolio to cover freedom (4% rule)
The classic way — but it comes with a catch. The 4% rule says you need 25x your annual expenses saved before you can stop working. That number can feel impossibly far away, is hard to predict, and — most importantly — tempts you to put life on hold until you finally "get there." Most people never do.
The PIMD Approach
Focus on the monthly number, not the portfolio target.
Instead of chasing a giant number decades away, focus on building passive income streams — real estate, private equity, business — that cover your monthly needs. As that income grows month by month, you get to start designing the life you want now, not at some distant finish line.
