What’s driving this

Your savings rate of 40% means you save $40,000 per year and spend $60,000. That puts you in the "Strong" range. At this pace, and assuming a 7% return and a 4% withdrawal rate, you could reach a portfolio that supports your current spending in roughly 19 years. The main drivers are how much you save (higher rate shortens the timeline), your spending (lower spending means a smaller FI target), and your return assumption.
