Assumptions: FI number = 25× annual expenses (4% safe withdrawal rate, Trinity Study). Take-home estimated at 73% of gross salary. Travel income entered as post-tax net. Compounding is annual. Returns are real (inflation-adjusted). Loan payoff uses 4.5% average rate. Results are projections, not guarantees.
