- Every projected month, corpus grows by expected monthly return and monthly investment is added.
- Every projected year, expenses grow by the expected inflation rate.
- Projected FIRE number = projected annual expenses / safe withdrawal rate.
- Real return estimate = (1 + return) / (1 + inflation) - 1.
