• 10% of retirees have $1M+ in savings

  For those in the US trying to do retirement planning I highly recommend trying: https://projectionlab.com/ I first saw it shared on HN and I've been a happy customer for the past year and the ability to compare the impact of different scenarios has helped me make a few big financial decisions.

• What are your Top 3 most desired features for YNAB?

• Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager

  It's interesting how many tools can analyze where your money has been going, but few go deep on the planning + forecasting side. Have you thought about building out the "retirement" module more? If you need any inspiration, I've been working on a personal finance simulator for the past two and a half years as a side project (https://projectionlab.com) Really great job with the docs on this, and I love that you... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• YNAB + ProjectionLab for long term planning

  I understand that this is all by design. YNAB is a budget app after all! Not a projection tool! But it's been a breath of fresh air to pair YNAB with a proper projection tool. I found ProjectionLab in the last year and it's been great. I loved it so much I developed a Chrome extension that syncs your YNAB account balances over so you can easily update your projections.

• I spent 2 years building a modern FI planning tool 📈 ☕️

  But something was missing. I wanted a hands-on and visual way to map out all the FIRE options and explore the trade-offs between different paths. So, I went looking for a long-term planning and forecasting tool. One thing led to another, and I decided to build ProjectionLab. Source: 10 months ago

• Finding my way to financial independence

  My wife and I plan to keep our same spending level in perpetuity, adjusted for inflation. I've been using projectionlab.com (really great site, but kind of pricey at $100/yr) to project when we will achieve financial independence, and it seems like it will be in about 7 years. This is IF I am about to maintain the same level of earning or better over that period of time, which is not guaranteed, but I would say... Source: 10 months ago

• My side project hit $10K MRR!

  Initially I built https://projectionlab.com simply because I wanted a better plan for my own financial future. And the fact that so many others wanted that too came as a bit of a surprise! But when people signed up and started asking for new features, I put my nose to the grindstone. And kept it there for the past two years. Source: 11 months ago

• How much did kids delay FIRE for you?

  So I can't put a number on how many years it'll add to your retirement target, but these are the main factors. There a few decent forecasting tools like Projectionlab for long-term planning and Nova Money for the daily stuff. Have a go at different scenarios (1 child, 2 children...) and I'm willing to wager it'll be more than 5 years. Source: 11 months ago
