The method

How we calculate your freedom number

Your real life expenses

What you actually spend — housing, kids, the real costs a one-line rule of thumb misses.

Your current investments

Every account you already have — 401(k), IRA, HSA, brokerage, employer match — counted as the head start it actually is.

Your ability to accelerate

Your savings rate today, and exactly how much closing that gap moves your date.

The Plan

Determine how to get there

A number on its own isn't a plan. Your guidance list is ordered by what earns you the most, right now — whether it's finding a way to increase your income, capturing your full employer match, or contributing to a taxable brokerage account.
