Two planners · one plan language

A wealth forecast you can audit
for lives that don't sit still.

One app, two distinct planners. Household for a traditional home-base plan. Nomad for creators, digital nomads, and location-independent workers earning across cities and countries before deciding where to land.

01 · Shared foundation

A plan that phases like a life — wherever you live it.

Both planners run on the same phase ledger. Four distinct phases — Accumulation, Tier 1 active, Tier 2 slowing, Tier 3 late care — with canonical summaries across Dashboard and Model Table. The difference between Household and Nomad is what happens inside each phase, not the shape of the plan.

See a Household example · Alex & Jordan
  • Phase ledger. Start → end balance, contributions, and spend, per phase. Canonical — not an afterthought.
  • Tier contracts. Activity glide (Tier 1 → 2 → 3), fixed-percentage allocation, legacy goal, runway buffer.
  • Scenario-aware chrome. The UI re-colors end-to-end when you flip Low / Mid / High.
  • Key transitions. 9-moment timeline: retire, Medicare, SS claim, Tier 2, late care, plan end.

03 · Scenarios

Three scenarios. One thousand paths. Zero false confidence.

Every figure in the app runs against Low, Mid, and High return assumptions — and every forecast is pressure-tested against 1,000 Monte Carlo paths. When we say 94% success, we mean 940 of 1,000 trials finished above your late-care safety buffer.

  • Scenario-aware chrome. Low / Mid / High palette re-stains the whole app. One toggle, coherent view.
  • Monte Carlo fan. P10 / median / P90 bands with success percentage and failure-mode breakdown.
  • Floor distance. "Above late-care safety buffer by $1.32M" — not a vague score.
  • Side-by-side. Compare plans: retire early, part-time bridge, different claim ages.

02 · Household — the standalone planner
For the life you're building around one home.

Retirement timing, healthcare, housing decisions, family obligations, and late care — on a single audited ledger. Household keeps the focus on the stable-base life: when to retire, how Medicare and Social Security layer in, whether the home sells or stays, and how much late-care buffer is enough.

See a Household example

One home base. One clean audit trail. Every decision accounted for.

Build the household plan around a primary residence, a spouse or partner, and the decisions that come with aging in place: Medicare timing, Social Security claim ages, retirement home purchase, bridge rentals, and the late-care buffer that protects the rest of the plan.

  • Phase ledger. Accumulation → Tier 1 active → Tier 2 slowing → Tier 3 late care. Every year assigned, every tier budget explicit.
  • Housing chain. Primary sale → bridge rental → retirement home purchase → CCRC. Each step with its own proceeds, costs, and mortgage logic.
  • Healthcare bridge. ACA to Medicare transition modeled year-by-year. Part B premiums and late-care insurance tracked as distinct lines.
  • Family obligations. 529 funding, adult-child support, parent care — each with its own window and protection tier.
  • Late-care buffer. A protected allocation the rest of the plan cannot touch. Funded before claims, stress-tested against a 3-year care event.

02 · Nomad — the standalone planner
For people whose work doesn't stay in one place.

Most planners assume one home base and one retirement destination. That breaks for creators, digital nomads, and location-independent workers whose earning years move through multiple cities, visas, and cost profiles. Nomad models the working years in motion, then shows where and when you land for retirement.

See a Nomad example · Ava & Kai

Variable stays. Variable income years. One coherent forecast.

Build your work-from-anywhere life as an ordered sequence of segments — city, duration, tax regime, housing mode, and workspace cost. The planner blends COLA across all of them, applies treaty-aware taxation, and still produces a single Low / Mid / High forecast you can defend all the way through the point where you settle for retirement.

  • Segment-first timeline. Creator season in Lisbon. Client-heavy years in Mexico City. A lower-burn stretch in Chiang Mai. The planner handles all of it as one plan.
  • Blended COLA. Each segment applies its own cost-of-living multiplier to your spend; the plan weighs the blended average as your real burn rate.
  • Housing inverted. No primary residence by default. Furnished rentals, mid-term leases, and coworking become the spend primitive until you choose a permanent base.
  • Tax treaty graph. Plan around US treaties, territorial regimes, NHR-style holidays, and Beckham-style flat rates. Every segment declares its regime; the forecast respects it.
  • Healthcare across borders. ACA bridge, private international coverage, Medicare later on — the plan tracks which setup is active per segment and when you settle back into a retirement base.

  • US tax relationship (treaty, no-treaty, territorial, tax holiday)
  • Healthcare footprint (public, private, expat majors)
