I see you have Pensions for Commonwealth Countries; what about US Government Pensions? I FIRE'd at 40 with a US Military Pension and some other investments, and can't really adapt your tool to my case due to that.
There are some interesting things about those pensions though (and the related VA compensation metrics). I have a spreadsheet I use to advise veterans who get sent my way because there are no decent tools out there for that population.
Otherwise it looks awesome!
- scubakid 3y agoCongrats! (or in FIRE parlance, f you haha) Curious what you feel is missing for modeling military pensions. Have you checked out the configuration options for Custom income streams, the Advanced change-over-time editor, and/or binding the start/end of things to milestones?
- CobaltFire 3y agoNope, I completely missed where you put them. I've always considered them as an asset, as it were, not a fixed income stream. That's my mistake, and I found where you put them. It just wasn't where I expected!
- scubakid 3y agoNo worries, if there's anything else you run into trouble modeling, feel free to reach out any time.
- CobaltFire 3y agoI was able to recreate my spreadsheet (in a much more pleasing UI!) in a few minutes here. I think I'm going to be recommending your tool to the Veteran's I help advise. Awesome work here. I really mean that.
- scubakid 3y agoThanks so much! It's a real passion project of mine :)
- JoshTko 3y agoSeems to be a discoverability issue.
