AI-POWERED ANALYSIS

Spot the mistakes costing you years.

Optionality AI reads your actual portfolio and finds what is slowing you down. Too much in bonds at 34? A property sitting idle? It tells you what to fix and exactly how many years each change saves.

Every recommendation is based on your real accounts, not generic rules of thumb. Your portfolio changes, your advice updates.

Portfolio Review

Review my portfolio. Am I on track?

I found two things holding you back:

1. You have 35% in bonds at age 34. At your age and risk tolerance, that is too conservative. Shifting to 15% bonds would increase your expected return by ~1.2%/yr.

2. Your rental property in Mesa is valued at $285K with no rental income. If you sold and invested the equity, your FI date moves from age 47 to age 44.

✓ These two changes alone could move your financial independence date 3 years earlier. Want me to model both scenarios side by side?

STRATEGIC GUIDANCE

Turn "someday" into a date.

Optionality AI looks at your full picture and builds a concrete plan. It knows your tax bracket, your employer benefits, your spending, and exactly how each decision moves your FI date.

Ask it anything. "What if I move to Portugal?" "Should I pay off the mortgage early?" "Is my RSU concentration dangerous?" Every answer is modeled from your real data.

Scenario Planning

If my wife goes back to work part-time, how much does that change our timeline?

Big impact. Even at $45K/yr part-time, here is what changes:

Savings rate: 38% → 52%
Monthly surplus: $3,200 → $5,950
FI date: Age 47 → Age 42

That is 5 fewer years of mandatory work. The extra income also lets you max both 401(k)s, saving ~$8K/yr in taxes.

✓ Even 2-3 years of dual income at this stage has an outsized effect because of where you are on the compounding curve. Want me to model the exact breakeven point?

DIFFERENT PATHS, SAME GOAL

Find your FIRE path.

There is no single way to reach financial independence. Optionality calculates your personalized path based on your actual data, spending patterns, and long-term goals.

Lean FIRE

$750,000

$30,000 / year

Retire on a minimal budget. Cut expenses to the essentials, invest aggressively, and reach freedom years sooner. Ideal if you value time over material possessions.

Regular FIRE

$1,250,000

$50,000 / year

Comfortable retirement at your current spending level. The balanced approach: maintain your lifestyle without needing to earn a paycheck ever again.

Fat FIRE

$2,500,000

$100,000 / year

Retire without any lifestyle compromises. Travel, hobbies, full flexibility. Takes longer to reach, but you never have to think twice about what you spend.

Optionality calculates your personalized target for each path based on your real spending, location, and tax situation.

Why not just use a spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets break

You update them for a month, then stop. Optionality syncs automatically with your brokerage, bank, and retirement accounts, so your numbers are always current.

Spreadsheets cannot give advice

A spreadsheet tells you your net worth. Optionality tells you that selling an idle property and rebalancing out of bonds could move your FI date three years earlier.

Financial advisors cost $5K+/yr

And most do not specialize in early retirement. Optionality gives you FIRE-specific analysis for a fraction of the cost, available around the clock with no account minimums.

Generic calculators guess

Online FIRE calculators use assumptions. Optionality uses your actual accounts, tax bracket, real estate, and spending to give you a real projection instead of a rough estimate.

Common questions.

Is my financial data safe?

Yes. We use 256-bit AES encryption for all stored data. Account connections are read-only through Plaid and SnapTrade, the same providers used by major banks. We never have access to move money or place trades on your behalf.

What does the free tier include?

The free tier includes your FIRE dashboard, net worth tracking, and basic AI conversations. Premium unlocks unlimited AI analysis, tax optimization, and advanced scenario modeling.

How long does setup take?

Under 2 minutes. Answer a few questions about your financial situation, connect your accounts if you want automatic syncing, and your dashboard is live immediately.

Does it work outside the US?

Yes. Optionality supports multiple currencies, international tax situations, and users in 30+ countries. The AI understands FIRE planning for expats and non-US residents.

Do I need to connect my accounts?

No. You can enter your financial data manually during onboarding. Connecting accounts simply keeps everything in sync automatically so you never have to update numbers by hand.

Your retirement date, calculated.
