Think of how much more freedom you might have in retirement if you started building steady investment habits now—that's the idea behind Coast FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early). Coast FIRE is a strategy where individuals save aggressively today so they can slowly move or "coast" towards part-time, then full retirement, all while letting compound growth do the work along the way. As more people rethink what early retirement could look like, Coast FIRE is becoming a compelling alternative, especially among do-it-yourself investors and busy professionals on a tight budget. But is it the right fit for all investors, and what does it really take to stay on track?
