ProjectionLab is an important part of my financial toolkit that helps me understand where I'm at and where I want to go.
While there is a lot in life outside my control, ProjectionLab helps me make informed decisions that bring me closer to financial freedom. The level of detail and variety of variables is impressive and fun for those of us who really like to dig into the numbers.

ProjectionLab has empowered me to plan my future! I can write down how much I expect to earn and spend, and what big purchases and moves I expect to make in the future, and then ProjectionLab allows me to play with hundreds of possible futures to answer critical questions like "when should I retire?" and "how much will it cost to move to a higher-tax state?"
Tip: multi-condition milestones are great for creating complex decision trees to represent how you would react to different market conditions.

This was a game-changer for me. Ever since I started using ProjectionLab, I have been more focused on saving money, investing, and paying down debt.
Retiring early is finally looking realistic for me.

I'm a huge fan of ProjectionLab and it's become the tool I regularly use to plan, test, and visualize my financial plan.
I love that I don't need to connect any financial accounts and how easy it is to jump in and get started modeling out various scenarios. The slick, fast and modern interface has increased my confidence in being able to plan and forecast better over the long term.

I've used projection lab for about a year and absolutely love it. It makes me feel completely in control of not just my day-to-day finances, but also retirement, large purchases, and things like figuring out whether I'm saving too much vs investing, etc.
The cash flow priorities module is my favorite thing, and such a powerful tool! I've used it many times to play with the consequence of paying off debt early vs investing more, spending vs saving leftover income and so much more.
Thank you for creating this incredible program! I hope to use it for years to come.

I'm fortunate enough to be considering early retirement. ProjectionLab is the only product that allows me to quickly model all my financial goals - like taking care of my parents, giving to charity, and preparing for a family.
It doesn't just tell me when I'll run out of money- it helps me visualize what different retirement dates and lifestyles look like over the next 60 years. It's beautiful, practical and extremely well designed.
I've been waiting for a tool like this for years!
