ok, you dont need to calculate how long it takes to reach financial independence. I made a skill for you.
Type "what's my FI progress?" and it pops a form. Cash, investments, monthly burn, monthly saving. Submit, and it renders the dashboard: net worth, FI number, years to freedom at 4% vs 7%, full savings sensitivity table.
The chart that hit me: 20K at 7% becomes 200K in 30 years. T-bills already pay 4%. The math isn't hard.
Most of my planning lived in three spreadsheets and one Notion page. Now it lives in one prompt.
Demo:
I built a personal news and knowledge base assistant in Claude
I read the daily news inside Claude, highlight what matters, drop a comment, one click and it files into the right topic folder in my project.
By month two the knowledge base will write my articles for me.

@AlfieJCarter there are always good skills to help you build your business, just as if there is a great and you start doing it, there will always ppl who will support you.
but the issue is, what is a good idea and did you start doing it
A lot of ppl who come from another country to the US have a feeling that it is hard to blend in with the locals. But it is the local side of the issue, or it may be partly our side of the issue.
I am not trying to deny the difficulty of moving to a new country, and I am not defending the people who treat foreigners unfairly, I hate these people too.
But what I discover is that, maybe compared to them not wanting to talk with locals, we probably more don't want to talk with them.
If you come from a country that only has one race, it is weird for you to talk with people who are not your race. It is also weird for you to be in a culture that is so different from yours. But for people in the US, they are more used to talking with people from different races than you, since there are other races when they grow up too.
In this case, we are more likely to be afraid to talk with them compared to them talking with you.
Under these cases, our fear will grow much bigger than it should be. The actual "awkward" is way less in reality compared to imagination.
We are the ones who are more afraid to make mistakes when we talk, we are the ones who are more afraid that we don't understand everything people say, even though they sometimes don't understand what other people say.
Just think about how many times it is hard for you to understand other people when you are in your home country.
So be more brave, talk to people even if you don't understand, if you are polite, people would not feel too bad. Once you overcome your fear, things would be much better.
@PromptLLM that is lowkey so ture, i feel like my attention and ability to focus will be taken away by phone easily and it could be a dangerous thing in ai era
