> FU money is literally the ability to say FU and do something anyway when someone says you can't. I always thought FU money was enough money that you can say FU and not do something when someone says you have to. That is, enough money to retire (get fired) on a whim. Of course, even by that definition, 750k isn't FU money unless you're single in a LCOL area (or fairly close to a predictable death, I guess). My personal criterion for FU money is 3mm. This is fairly achievable, market willing, if you have make six figures.
