I just had a play around with this for the first time in a long while (I tried it when it was projectfi), and it's in a really great place - well done!

Love that you support countries other than the US - that's very much appreciated.

What I find when setting up long-term plans like this is that you realize just how much key life decisions affect the outcomes, along with how much uncertainty I have over those life decisions! Being able to explore those permutations is definitely very insightful.



Thanks for playing around with the new version! And sounds like it's a good thing I rebranded to ProjectionLab -- that first 'i' in ProjectiFi was way too easy to miss ;)

Is there a certain direction you'd like to see me take the tool from here?


One thing I'd like to see is a better way to estimate the cost of kids, and specifically per-child. If I could just click a button and have the average cost for a child for my country added from a certain year, that would be awesome.


That's a neat idea! when I estimate future expenses, typically I'll do independent analysis and then bring my final numbers into PL. But I think you're right that there's an opportunity to include some country/region benchmarks or perhaps integrate APIs to pull them on-demand. Do you happen to know of any data providers that might be straightforward to integrate for that sort of thing?


Check out numbeo.com, it's a crowd-sourced database of cost-of-living data.


Hmmm getting NXDOMAIN for that at the moment. But I do see results for it on google. Someone give the intern access to DNS settings?
