What's your FI number and how did you calculate it?

The 4% rule assumes a 30-year retirement. FIRE at 40 means potentially 50+ years of portfolio withdrawals. I'm using 3.5% as my number and holding 5 years of expenses in bonds as buffer.

How does this compare to just buying VTI and forgetting about it?

What's your thoughts on the downside risk here?
