Show HN: How long do I need to work at my salary before I can coast, or retire?
A developer has released a 'vibe-coded' FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) tool built with the help of AI. The tool simulates personal financial trajectories to help users determine when they can afford to coast or retire.
Why it matters
It highlights the growing trend of using AI assistants to build functional software tools without traditional financial or programming expertise.
How many years at a big salary before you can coast, retire, or retire and never shrink your nest egg.
Heads up: this is a vibe-coded FIRE tool. It was built in a conversation with Claude (an AI): someone described what they wanted, and Claude wrote the code, the tests and the design log. No financial professional has reviewed it. It is not financial advice . Use it to explore ideas, and check anything important with a real human who does this for a living.
It answers one question: how long do I need to work at a high salary before I can stop, coast, or retire?
