The other half of the equation is the amount you're spending. At least in tech, FIRE means finding a way to earn a San Francisco salary without paying for a San Francisco lifestyle, such that you're saving more than one year's expenses per year you work.
It is surprisingly doable, particularly if you can land a remote job and then move somewhere cheap. (Doable for us software developers, anyway.)

(Doable for us software developers, anyway.) Employers call this a "geographic adjustment", and will happily "geographically adjust" you as soon as you move. From their point of view: why should they pay you SF salary when you don't have SF costs?
