About FIRE Mode
Welcome to FIRE Mode. In this section you can evaluate potential relocation cities based on your current income, how long you plan to work, your FIRE income, and how many years for FIRE. Your FIRE income isn’t how much you plan to spend in FIRE but how much would be subject to income taxes
(which could be as low as $0)
