I just wanted to say your ReadyAimRetire tool is incredible! I've used a few others like Boldin and Empower but yours is so much easier and all right there. Well done! I've added a ballpark budget and travel and it shows very clear. I don't understand the Monte Carlo graph but know all advisors use this so that's great to see as well.
Just wanted to say thank you for such a great online tool and that you make it available to everyone really says a lot about you! Thank you so much!
As I approach retirement, I have looked at quite a few calculators on the web to get a complete number of variables like yours. Yours seems to be nicely done and takes into account my situation with retiring but delaying SS and simple army pension included as it impacts bottom line to see when I can retire and hope to live a long life to enjoy it.
I stumbled on your site/calculator. It was the first I clicked on and I see no need to look further. It seems exhaustive, or at least it has all the capabilities I'd like to see.
I think this is the most comprehensive and dynamic tool I have seen for retirement planning. I love the flexibility of scenarios that are offered, and a simplistic interface. Thanks for providing this incredible tool for the compulsive planner!!
Wow, the new site is amazing, I love the additional predictive values, chance of success and historical analysis predictions. I am still playing with the different variables, but so far I love it.
I found ReadyAimRetire about a year ago and have relied heavily on it for retirement planning.
I have been able to spend some time on the new site. My first reaction… WOW! You have really made something special here!
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your work on this very valuable tool to help folks like myself. It gives me some peace of mind and helps me easily add in some inflation along with Social Security for my wife and me at 70 years of age.
Your calculator is well coded and comprehensive. I found it the most close to reality of all calculators out there. Thanks again. You helped a lot.
I love your calculator. I have been scouring the internet trying to find one that could do what I needed it to do, and yours was the best one. Especially with all the options. I sat down with my bride, and we walked through your tool adding in our income and expense streams and it looks very good. It really gave her peace of mind and perspective.
I just stumbled upon this website yesterday and I must say this is absolutely awesome. I've tried so many different retirement calculators, but all seemed to be missing one key element or another. This site pretty much allows you to run spot on scenarios to give you a clear picture.
Firstly, amazing website. Thank you for your work. This is a really great resource.
I utilize the calculator all the time, it's fantastic and part of my quarterly finetuning. In fact, I've even shared it with a few of my friends. I'm 52 and looking at a possible early retirement 58-60 range and find the ability to game out options invaluable. Thanks so much for creating that tool.
Your Ready Aim Retire planner is the most complete retirement calculator I've found. I absolutely love it. Great job overall on your planner!!!!
Really enjoy ReadyAimRetire. Really well done and I think it's even better than the firecalc calculator. I love some of the add-ons you put in it. Really like this site, I'll put a link on my FB Page.
Just wanted to say that as a financial nerd of sorts, I truly love and appreciate your tool. It's the most comprehensive and accurate tool out there. Thank you very much!
I really like using your savings withdrawal calculator. Congrats! It's super easy running various scenarios.
Glad to see you up and running again. Your version is the best one I've found yet! Thanks for sharing it.
I have been using the ReadyAimRetire planner a lot and I think it's fantastic! Nothing else I've found comes close to how useful this is.
I just wanted to say I love Ready Aim Retire. Great tool!
I just found your planner from a comment to an article and just wanted to tell you how clear and easy it is! Our financial advisor uses Living Balance Sheet and your planner was much easier to use than his. I just love being able to work with the various levers to see the results of the Monte Carlo simulations.
I love Ready Aim Retire. It is my favorite one I have found because I can put in multiple pensions starting at various ages. When I discuss finances with friends and family it is always the planner I point them to.
I found your web site and love it.
Your ReadyAimRetire retirement planner is #1 best. Thanks for the great tool again!
So glad to see this site back up. I love being able to manipulate different scenarios. The table view gives me the most info. Love it. Please keep it up!
