Financial independence means having enough saved that your expenses will be covered for the rest of your life.
- In today's money, you'll have at least £17,472 / year (£1,456 / month) when you retire at 66 - just from your savings
- In real terms (where inflation is not removed), that's £31,013 / year (£2,584 / month)
- That means all your outgoings are covered without having to make any further contributions!
- All your expenses are covered for your retirement, but your wealth may start to decrease towards old age
