What’s one expense you’ve cut (or kept) that’s moved you closer to CoastFIRE?

Here is a great tool I used to see where I stood with my retirement, and it helped give me confidence I was ready to make a change. I haven't found a better one yet, but if you've got a calculator you like better, by all means please post it. https://walletburst.com/tools/coast-fire-calc/

Hey everyone, thought I’d share a small win to get started… I finally sat down and wrote out a few goals I want to focus on this month. Nothing big yet, but it feels good to have some direction. I want to finally update my resume, spend at least 20 minutes reading each day instead of scrolling, and try to get back into a simple workout routine a couple times a week. It’s nothing major, but it feels good to have a bit of direction written down.

Hey everyone—welcome to our Finance Review space! This is where we can help each other take the sometimes-abstract idea of CoastFIRE and make it real. Whether you’re just starting out or already halfway coasting, this section is for: ✅ Reviewing each other’s plans and numbers (without judgment) ✅ Sharing tools, spreadsheets, and resources that make tracking easier ✅ Celebrating small wins (paid off a credit card, bumped savings rate, finally opened that TFSA/401k) ✅ Asking the “Am I on the right track?” questions we all have Think of it like a gym for financial independence—you show up, put in reps, and we all get stronger together. To kick things off, I’d love to know:👉 What’s one resource (spreadsheet, calculator, book, or podcast) you’ve found helpful for understanding or tracking CoastFIRE? Drop your answers below 👇 and let’s build a shared library for the whole group.
