I'm interested in how others would define FI in quantifiable terms. I know it can be defined as having enough money to last for the rest of your life. But in more specific terms, I'd say it's having a portfolio worth 50 times your annual expenses. OK it may really be 25 or 40, but to be cautions, I'd tend to say more like 50. Many posters post here that they are FI, and I'm curious what definition you use.
