I couldn’t find the perfect long-term financial planning tool, so I decided to build one □ Something modern, fluid, nuanced, and actually fun to use.Īfter a couple thousand hours of coding, let me introduce ProjectionLab! So, I went looking for a long-term planning and forecasting tool. I wanted a hands-on and visual way to map out all the options and explore the trade-offs between different life plans. Theory is nice, but I wanted to really see how this was going to work. I learned about leanFIRE, fatFIRE, regular FIRE, coastFI, Barista FIRE, and everything in between.īut something was missing. I dove head-first down the FI rabbit hole. ![]() And that if I did, someday I might eventually have the freedom to be my best self all the time, not just a few weeks a year. I knew right away that I needed to take more active control of my financial future. Their message hit me like a freight train. Collins, Vicki Robin, and The Mad Fientist. Then I discovered FI community thought leaders like Pete Adeney, J.L. ![]() But mostly, I would daydream about when I’d have enough PTO for another vacation to go scuba diving and make travel videos.īut what accompanied those daydreams was a gnawing feeling that there should be more to life than the classic American pattern of working until you’re too old to enjoy it.ĭoes sacrificing the best hours of your best days of your best years to meetings, briefings, and bureaucracy really add up to your best life? Sure, I knew a few rules of thumb – save some for retirement, don’t spend an exorbitant amount on rent.

It’s been a while since I’ve found an application that’s both, but that’s exactly what I have for you today… and writes and design software for a living.I love powerful/flexible financial software. Note that I am a porfessional computer user who uses a lot of different software applications every day: everything from Photoshop, Lightroom, Office suites, VS Studio etc. Stairs vanished from the 2D view with no obvious way to get them back. Very small dimenstions when drawing objects.ĥ. Selection of objects is very hit and miss.Ĥ. A deck object I had drawn suddenly was only recognised as stairs, stairs would not attach to deck objects no what I did to the riser/trad combination (simple geometry showed it should have worked), deck to deck stair transitions would not work no matter what I did.ģ. ![]() colors do not work (brown is orange, orange is yellow etc.).
