Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built this because "I'll retire someday" was the answer I kept giving myself, and I realized I'd never actually calculated the year — just vaguely contributed to retirement accounts and assumed it would work out eventually.
The part that surprised me most building this: the 4% rule everyone quotes isn't gospel, and running your FIRE number at 3%, 4%, and 5% side by side shows a real range that a single number hides. Also — inflation quietly eats a huge chunk of "expected returns," and most casual retirement math doesn't account for it properly.
Would love feedback, especially from anyone in the FIRE community who's run these numbers before and knows what's missing.
Thanks for checking it out 🙏
