The math is real, the tools are free, and nothing here is trying to sell you anything.
I built these tools to navigate my own decisions.
Late 20s, working in tech, high-cost city, about to get married – I've been staring down a pretty real stack of decisions (rent vs. buy, how to actually invest for retirement, what my career looks like as AI reshapes tech from the inside out) and I kept finding that the tools meant to help me think through them were either too simplified or quietly trying to sell me something.
So I started building my own, and then figured I'd do it in public – because I find writing about all of this a bit therapeutic, and if it helps someone else in a similar spot, that's a nice side effect.
