FI Toolkit 1.1

For all people interested in their financial health and well being, FI Toolkit can help with understanding the terminology and financial interrelationships for planning a future where “Earn – Save – Invest” is a priority for financial security. And, the app provides the visual aids and calculation metrics to know when success is likely achievable. The questions “When will we become Financially Independent?” and “How long will our money last?” being critically important to answer.

You start by entering basic financial information, what you earn, what you save, and what you generally spend. With Financial Independence as the goal, the app projects forward in time to calculate and display your estimated future Account Balance (detailed in a chart and supporting Spreadsheet). By refining your inputs to reflect changes in your “Earn – Save – Invest” strategy, you can investigate the impact on a likely future Account Balance profile and estimate when your money will run out. The app provides a means to quickly model different lifestyle directions you may choose to pursue.
