FIRE folk (and every retiree) are going to get killed by inflation over the next ~5 years. The thing about retirement is that you're on a fixed income, and if you're doing it right you move capital from risk assets like stocks into more deterministic investments like bonds as you get close to needing them. The value of bonds and cash is about to get crushed; it's very hard to plan how much you need to live on when living costs may go up 5-10x or more in the next 5 years.
