How much savings are decent for an early retirement at 40 ?

I am 32 married, living in a tier 3 city in the parental home since corona. No plans to buy any home.

#Take home is 2 lakhs after tax and deductions.
#1.1 CR in stocks , growing at a rate of 35% a year
# 25 lakhs in mutual funds, growing at 22%
# 12 lakhs PPF
# small plot of 20 lakhs in hometown.

Stopped saving now and spending all of my salary. Is that a right approach or should I continue to save 50-60k a month?

1.1 Cr in stocks? :o growing at 35% how?

I have a fair amount of experience with financial markets

Spending 2L in Tier3 city while staying in own house sounds tough to believe.
Do you plan to continue stock market trading/investing as full time career after FIRE? If not, assuming 35% growth for sustained period is bad idea.

Coming to the key question, corpus size depends on individual needs. Please model your annual expenses, consider inflation of 6-7% atleast on these, then the big spends related to kids education, marriage etc. and calculate corpus needed to meet the requirements.

We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
