Year-by-Year at Optimal Retirement Age

AgeYearEventPortfolioIncomeBurnGrowthEnd
Model: Two return rates β€” accumulation (equities, untouched) and drawdown (conservative blend). Coast FIRE = earliest age where zero further savings still reaches retirement via compounding. Crash = instant portfolio hit, then normal returns from reduced base.

Not modelled: ISK tax (~1%/yr β€” reduce accumulation by ~1%), capital gains on equity sale, sequence-of-returns beyond crash test, healthcare.
