Showing or linking to the relevant historical data/rates next to each of those inputs sounds like a good feature idea to me.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! A lot of love indeed. And also blood, sweat, and tears haha. I built PL to be as DIY-centric and unopinionated as I could; and the tool itself doesn't provide formal advice, though I can understand why

Sounds like the Lifetime plan could potentially be a fit then? And I do offer general discounts on request too (see pricing page) if you feel it's out of reach.

I recently introduced a referral partnership / revenue share program. There's a link in the footer on the landing page if you'd like to check that out. Not sure about a version that can be white-labeled though. Would need to

It's this kind of feedback that has kept me energized through all the ups and downs of solo/indie software development over the past two years :) And FWIW, I tend to update my plans about monthly as well. Feels like a good cadence

Have you seen the TFSA and RRSP account types? I try to offer as much configurability as I can, but if there are other areas where you'd like to see more of that, definitely let me know.

Thanks! I think a good cross-section is already doable :) There isn't a formal API yet, but there are several methods I've exposed on the early access channel to facilitate community plugin development, including the ability to pr

Of course! All the early adopters like you have really meant a lot to me, and it's the least I can do to honor your original pricing :)

The checkout experience in PL is just standard Paddle checkout, so I imagine the feedback about charging after the free trial applies to everyone who uses Paddle? I tend to think the Paddle checkout flow is clear enough on how their free tr

If you'd like to see an option to withhold exact taxes automatically (to avoid owing extra with your tax return or getting a refund in the following year), there's an item on the public roadmap that you can upvote. FWIW though, I

Where is $592 coming from? That doesn't sound right to me for Premium, esp. since the Lifetime option doesn't even have a trial phase. Which plan, billing frequency, and currency are you looking at? On the trial topic, I'm us

Hmmm getting NXDOMAIN for that at the moment. But I do see results for it on google. Someone give the intern access to DNS settings?

Employer Contribution is one of the inputs in the 401k cash-flow priority form, and you can use the More Options ellipsis to the right of that input to choose from several ways to model it.

Yikes, are there any kind of levers available to someone in an environment like that? Or is it just... as grim as it sounds?

My intent with the sandbox was just to make it easy for folks to quickly hop into the tool and get a sense for what you can do with it, without the friction of needing to go through the full onboarding process and dig up a bunch of numbers

Agreed. That question comes up often enough that I should really find a way to draw more attention to those embedded expenses during the plan creation process. That said, too many dialogs and "hey, look at this" indicators can bec

Good point, I believe there's an item on the public roadmap you might like to upvote for adding more property tax options (e.g. to help with modeling cases like California's handling). Ideally you'd probably want to be using

If you have that modeled as an expense, you can click that expense's icon in your plan to toggle it on and off. Same for other things like income items, real assets, accounts, and cash-flow priorities.

Thanks! And luckily I think I know what this is :) Sounds like you may just need to pay a visit to the Expenses subsection of the House form within the plan interface (Real Assets section beneath the primary chart in the Plan tab). If you&#

Thanks for trying it out! I agree the recovery dialog needs some improvement. Ideally I'd like a way to let people back in for a limited time if they accidentally close their browser. Couldn't think of a sufficiently tamper-resist

If a few people are starting to complain about pricing, then maybe I'm finally in the right ballpark now haha. I do also offer general discounts on request (form on pricing page).

Good point on FHSA! For savings accounts, you should be able to go into the Growth section of the account form in the plan interface and edit what the account yields. It would be great to get your thoughts on tickers/tracking in the it

Google drive sync didn't occur to me, but I'll check it out! Could be a nice option to add to the storage method suite if they have APIs that would be easy to integrate.

You make a good point that adding more educational scaffolding would be helpful. I try to include some sensible defaults where I can (e.g. assuming houses are going to have some maintenance/insurance/tax costs associated with them
