This is now kinda addictive. If the wife and I buy cars to replace our current jalopies we will retire 3.5 years later. Although this calculation also assumes that we are paying these car payments indefinitely.

I just do it with some simple math. Like lets say I want $3 coffee instead of my home made stuff:

$3x250 (working days a year) x25 (inverse of 4%) = $18,750 invested just to pay for coffee.

Or each $1 wasted a day costs $9,125 that I'll need.

your car at 300/month would be $90,000    shit, that's a used ferrarri in cash!


Thanks for providing the simple math :)

I would definitely check out the app, but I have maxed out storage on my phone...have to clear some things out!

Is there some way to add the ”What if scenario” directly to the baseline?
Say i want to buy a pizza 10$, i calculate it in the app and then decide to save the 10$ And add it to my total invested..

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread ...

Wondering if it's possible to gain access to the data points in the Trends (Beta) section -- or at least to be able to select certain data points and delete them. I was messing around with "options" and now I have spikes all over the place as I considered different life decisions.

lol.  Yeah that's why even though I was going to change some of the assumptions to better reflect my investments, I decided just to leave it alone and keep updating the actual dollar number I have to avoid the crazy spikes all over my nice graph

I’m bringing this super old thread back because my phone offloaded this app and I really miss it.  I hadn’t used it in a while because I didn’t want to see my FI date look further away with the recent market correction!  It’s no longer in the App Store so my iPhone can’t download it.  (I don’t understand how it left my “purchased” list.  I can still pull YNAB classic onto new devices this way.).

I had forgotten that it was someone on these forums that created it.  Paging @dannymurphy I’m begging for this app!

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
