This doesn't make much sense and is what's hindering people from aiming for financial independence. Being able to save 75% of income means he only needs 25% of his income. If his passive income is 25% of his active income he can retire.
Banks and financial institutions like to benchmark retirement $ needs against our last drawn income. That's BS. Keep your expenses low and you will be financially independent. A consumption mindset and lifestyle doesn't givve ppl fulfillment, we are too influenced by marketing.
