I Built a Free Interactive Calculator For The Community - Seeking Feedback!

Hey all!

I've been a lurker in this community for quite a long time and have gained some real good value from the suggestions and discussions which regularly go on here and felt I wanted to give back. I'd like to preface this post with saying that I'm not trying to sell, or monetize anything here, but I've been working on a project for the community which I'd like to gather some feedback on, see how people feel about it and even be willing to take on suggestions for what people feel may be good additions.

The concept is very simple being that's its' an interactive calculator focused primarily on HENRY and this community, giving breakdowns of possible avenues people can take in order to ideate their potential HENRY strategies. I've been using it myself and have found it to be fairly useful.

Some of the things which are implemented are:

  1. An "Advanced" and "Quick" version of the calculator, with one giving more in-depth ideas on what can be done given your position as well as the other working dynamically to allow you to tailor and explore other ideas which will be reflected in the presented calculations.
  2. Consideration for all possible financial contributions including partner's income, student loans, external income, and much more.
  3. A variety of ideation tools to help you figure out what best suits you. We don't tend to "reccomend" anything but more present it in a way where it might present you with an idea you may not have thought about before based on your situation, mostly which is based on advice which I've learned from this community.

Your feedback, both good and bad, would be very much appreciated and I'd like to thank anyone who even has the time to take a look! Happy Easter :)
