FIRE by 45

Nadia is twenty eight, a software engineer in Manchester on £72,000, renting a one bed and intending to keep renting.

She saves about half of what she is paid and wants to stop working at forty five, which leaves a twelve year gap: she turns fifty five in 2053, the wrong side of the 2028 change, so her pension is locked until fifty seven and the State Pension does not arrive until sixty eight.

Stopping then also closes her National Insurance record at twenty three years out of thirty five, which costs about £6,300 a year of State Pension in today's money for the rest of her life.
