When You Can Pull The Trigger is the reality-based guide built from 129 real cases of people facing this exact decision. It walks you through three chapters: The Reality Audit, The Trigger Decision Framework, and Advanced Moves—each designed to replace doubt with clarity.
Inside Chapter 1, you'll use The Floor Formula to calculate the actual minimum you need to survive indefinitely. Not the aspirational number. Not the 4% rule estimate. The real floor that lets you separate survival from preference—so you finally know what's negotiable and what's not.
Every month you spend re-reading the same FIRE blogs and recalculating the same spreadsheets is a month you could have already had your answer.

Every week you wait costs you either opportunity or peace of mind. This guide takes under an hour to read and gives you a framework you'll use for the rest of your financial life.
