@1Umairshaikh Eh, about $1000. But it's in monthly subscriptions, so MRR is $120 😅

@thebuildjournal @BatsouElef I'm biased, but I think this is a good backend/frontend combo to get your foot in the door to the industry in a lot of different ways.

@ptmoney @FinCon I'll be at FinCon this year. I'm pumped.

@MinnieOnCam What stat would that tweak? Income (for accumulation phase) and spending? A bigger percentage of care nearing end-of-life?

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

Who doesn't love a good "what if" scenario in retirement planning? 😅

New Feature Dropped!

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

I'm pretty happy with this. First major "Pro" feature for FIREproof.

Create any asset, using a mean/volatility/shape, and add it to your portfolio. "Shapes" for now include: Equities, Bonds, Bitcoin.

Implemented my first ever GitHub actions build/deploy pipeline for both test and prod environments. Docker build/push on a Python/Django/SvelteJS project, then SSH/pull/run.

It was pretty rad when it all clicked.

It's going to help out a lot on my side project.

I wanted to announce that my latest project, the result of 12 years of FIRE community outreach and development, is now live in beta!

From the creator of cFIREsim, meet FIREproof.

@retirein1500 The successor to cFIREsim that I've been talking about for 2 years! 😅

Trying to soft-launch in 2 weeks after my vacation.

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

Stripe account validated my business and is hooked up to my site. Things are feeling more real... 😍😅

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

@VicVijayakumar I have a domain, with a sort of landing page, and I'm going to put up an email capture for "beta testers". But I'm going to hand select most people. I'll keep you in mind.

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

Finally getting some summary stat tables up so that I can better visualize the ridiculous amount of data and start to ask myself questions like "What hellish 30-year retirement period caused one simulation to pay $1.2M in income taxes"?

Probably some big RMDs. Woof.

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

@VicVijayakumar I think soonish. Right now, I'm sure there are a lot of oddities going on with the data (I haven't quite nailed down getting withdrawal rules like "Avoid Early Withdrawal Penalties" to all play nicely with each other).

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

@Torificallytori Amazing haircut, even more amazing smile.

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

@Blind__Luck @theRealDanVCFA Greatly depends on the definition of "lost" here. Did my portfolio go down by almost half? Yes. Did I cash out to realize those losses? No. And that portfolio is worth way more now.

People need to learn about volatility vs. actual loss.

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

@DreNader I think so, yeah. Whenever I launch this thing, I'll have a transition period and then just redirect traffic.

[FIREproof/cFIREsim 📈 @cFIREsim]

cFIREsim's successor (WIP, not released), a financial/retirement planner that simulates outcomes.

I have it handling account types, taxes, the concept of people attached to those things, etc.

UI is tough for me, and I'm consolidating outputs, but it's coming along.
