Pretirement: Financial Freedom
If you pass on your morning latte and save $5 a day, how many months earlier can you retire?
What if you cancel your TV service for $100/month?
If you pull $10k out of your nest egg to buy that fancy boat, how many more hours must you spend at your day-job?
Using basic financials, this app provides a retirement calculator to determine the date at which you gain financial freedom and provides a countdown clock towards that date. Then, test any financial decisions to see how they affect the timeline of your financial freedom.

It's not terribly complicated but it hits the high-level stuff very well. I've been using the app for almost a year now and have been watching my NW inch up and my FIRE date inch down. This week I was playing with the what-if calculator to see how much a $1 one-time contribution impacted my retirement date and was surprised to see that it made a difference of 28:03 - almost a half hour!
Very well designed quick overview of retirement journey. The future value feature is useful for understanding the true cost of a large purchase.
Some how I reached my 'freedom' about 5 years before I was born. Entered everything three times.
No useful information about retirement. Too simplified.
I had to scroll though 510 months to put my age in...
I wish this app was more dynamic. It works for simple retirement situations but I believe many people looking at FIRE are going to have more streams of revenue. This doesn't account for rental income, pensions, passive income, side hustle/ part-time retirement income or AS I that impact many people's $$$. Also I wish this had the capability to project future raises beyond inflation. It is a nice simple app but not something I could use to paint a complete picture of my finances.
Old version was better. The "trends" feature offers no additional insight and makes the application slower since it wants to load the trends page each time you adjust the baseline. The new age at FI feature is great though!
I especially like the countdown timer! Great for keeping focused on the goal when.things are a bit rough
Great FIRE planning/motivation app. Easy to get started with, handy during impulse purchases or big decisions, and has a great graphical layout to and countdown clock. Love it!
Inspiring feedback and keeping me excited and focused
Nice app to play with and see the impact of your financial decisions!
Great app - quick and easy to use. Perfect for anyone who is easily tempted by a good deal. Now I can immediately see the impact on my retirement plans before I spent anything big or small. Thx😎
Simple and easy to use. It really nails home the fact that those daily coffees can really add up!
Simple to use and let's me know that maybe my subscription music service isn't worth it
I've been into personal finance for some years now and it's the best and very coherent display of FIRE data I've ever seen, waiting on new features to come! Like differential contributions by years (income increase etc) and asset allocation. Kudos for keeping it free!
