Huge shout-out to the survey team for running the 2025 FI survey and making the data available.

I turned the results into an interactive dashboard here:

https://fi-survey-rose.vercel.app/

A few things that stood out to me from the respondent data:

• This is a high income / high net-worth sample compared with the general population, no matter which metric you look at.
• Savings rates are extremely high, though that is obviously easier to achieve at higher income levels.
• A meaningful number of people appear to be using very conservative withdrawal-rate assumptions, including some 45+ respondents targeting around 2.5%

Standard caveat: this is self-reported, self-selected survey data, so I’d be careful about treating it as representative of everyone here. But it’s still fun to explore.

This was a fun little Sunday project. Feedback welcome.
