A reality check is a good thing

That's what I tell my sons when I want them to have an honest conversation. It's also what every tool on this site is designed to do — not to alarm you, but to give you the numbers you probably haven't stopped to look at.

All tools are free, require no sign-up and store no data. They are based on peer-reviewed research and are always being improved. I am not a doctor, financial advisor or any kind of professional — please treat results with caution and always consult a qualified professional for anything that matters.

Built with ♥ and Claude (Anthropic) — because ideas matter more than implementation.
