The ‘Coast’ Isn’t So Clear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not enough TO retire, mind you. Just enough that, assuming everything goes according to plan for the next several decades, you could stop saving and allow the money already accumulated to carry you the rest of the way.That’s apparently the logic behind something labeled “Coast FI,” and according to a recent Wall Street Journal article, young people are “obsessed” with it.
