How You'll Use It

Building Your First Retirement Budget

Never created a retirement budget? Start with a 15-minute conversation. Our AI asks about your life, suggests categories, and helps you think through how expenses change. You'll end up with a realistic budget that accounts for everything from reduced commuting costs to increased healthcare spending.

Estimating Retirement Expenses

Not sure what you'll spend in retirement? Our AI helps you think through each category. Maybe you currently spend $4,000/month working, but in retirement: no commute saves $300, healthcare adds $500, more travel adds $400. Build a realistic picture of your retirement spending.

Planning for Lifestyle Changes

Want to travel extensively for the first 10 years of retirement, then settle down? Create multiple budget phases. Model spending $8,000/month from 65-75 for adventures, then dropping to $5,000/month after. See exactly how it affects your retirement security.

Adjusting to Market Changes

The market dropped and you need to trim spending. Which categories? How much? Our AI helps you model cuts across different areas, showing you the trade-offs and helping you maintain quality of life while protecting your nest egg.
