FIRE Progress Dashboard

A simple tracker for people pursuing Financial Independence/Retire Early (FIRE) to monitor net worth, savings rate, and progress toward their target number. Users input their assets, liabilities, and income to visualize their path to financial independence with customizable goals and milestones.

The FIRE community has grown steadily through Reddit communities like r/financialindependence (1.8M+ members) and adjacent personal finance content, and frustration with generic budgeting tools that don't speak FIRE-specific metrics — savings rate, FI number, safe withdrawal rate — is a real and repeated complaint. Personal Capital (now Empower) covers net worth tracking but isn't built around FIRE goal framing, leaving a genuine product gap for opinionated, community-specific tooling. The $500–2k/mo revenue band is honest given the audience skews frugal and already has free spreadsheet templates from the community itself — conversion to paid will be sluggish without a compelling reason to stop using a Google Sheet. That's also the biggest risk: the spreadsheet-native culture of FIRE adherents means they've already self-solved this problem well enough, and a polished UI alone won't move them off a free tool they control.
