I’m not sure if these numbers are from the blogger or from a commenter/case study, but financial samurai is a FIRE blogger who retired from tech in their 30s with children, while continuing to live in the Bay Area. They subsequently shared that their early retirement became more tenuous than expected because of (at the time) depressed bond and treasury yields compared to their projection. I can’t recall if this was pre or post pandemic, but I think they were considering returning to the workforce.
