How much did you consider enough?

FIRE by design (4% rule) effectively has built in margin. In essence, I mean that the FIRE principles would have ensures success over any prior historical period, so they will likely apply in any future period. But of course there are no guarantees. Stuff happens. What did folks consider enough?

Our fire number is $1.7M we are currently at $1.45. if the Market holds out and we keep our jobs we should be at $2M in 4 years. I'm probably not willing to pull the trigger right at $1.7M. But I'm curious how much other folks thought was enough buffer to make them pull the trigger?
