Daily FIRE Hangout - Friday, October 16, 2026

This is a relaxed hangout thread for the FIRE community to chat with other FIRE-minded folks without having to publish separate posts. This is the place for brand new people to get their feet wet as well as for lurkers who have questions or comments, but do not want to create posts of their own.

All of the sub rules apply in this thread as normal with the exception of the off-topic rule, which is relaxed to the extent that people don't go wildly off of the reservation.

We are putting this up as a trial to see if it is worth keeping this as a permanent feature of the sub. Participation is entirely voluntary and anyone who wants to create a separate post of their own rather than posting in here is free to do so.

I've tried the free version of ProjectionLab, and I'm wondering if the paid version is worth the cost. In particular, I'm close to FIRE so I want to make sure all my ducks are in a row and I'm not missing anything out. In the free plan, I've run some of the simulations, so I wonder if the paid version will give me extra insight.

Has anyone used the free and/or paid versions of ProjectionLab and can tell me if it's worth it?

I did the trial period. You should be able to do that as well, for a week. Cash flow and tax breakdowns were interesting. I don't think you need to pay $129 for the premium version but I do think it's a good app. If they offered a month for $20 I'd probably do that once.
