Before and After
I started using the FIREcalc calculator and this forum four years before I retired and have continued using it 16 months after retirement. I think I will use it from now on. FIRECALC and the forum were my major support in making the decision to retire. I've learned about withdrawal methods from people who are do it yourselfers with real life experience. Every time I go to the forum I learn something new.
A Forum Dominated By Spreadsheet Nerds
That's good as they are honest and data driven. What's not great is the heavy use of acronyms, many specific to the forum. Plus there are acronyms that are specific to the individual writer. Some posts require a translator. There really isn't any need for the use of many acronyms. Just use speech to text software.
Too much censorship
This app had a great potential to be helpful in planning for an early retirement. However, unfortunately the forum suffers from over moderation by a bunch of censors that are very much into themselves and censor not only anything even mildly political, but any criticism of the censorship itself as well. As a result the forum is nearly useless.
Minimal
Does the job but as feature-less as an app can get.
Excellent app. Easier to use than the browser!

Great stuff
Always learn a lot from the forums. On my way to freedom.
Early Retirement
Great forum for those approaching retirement and those of us that have finished our careers. Very good info and various perspectives on issues we face. I read it every day.
