Show HN: FI Calc – an early retirement calculator for engineers
- aphit 6y agoWhy are you specifically advertising this as "for engineers"?
- jamesplease 6y agoTwo reasons: 1. engineers are disproportionately represented in the early retirement community, so in a way any FIRE resource could be considered "for engineers". ...maybe? Do you buy that? No? Yeah I get it. 2. a couple of weeks back, an early retirement blog that had nothing to do with engineering landed on the front page having also advertised itself as "for engineers." It seemed like an ingenious marketing strategy so I decided to try it out. It didn't work out so well for this app, though. So it goes.

- jamesplease 6y agoBummer! There are two main levers: increasing your portfolio value or decreasing your spending. If you do one of those two things I'm sure you'll be able to create something that feels successful.
