The science behind it

Why Monte Carlo beats a spreadsheet

Linear projections assume the market grows at a constant rate β€” which it never does. Monte Carlo simulation runs thousands of randomized scenarios, each with different return sequences, inflation spikes, and recession years.

The result isn’t a single hopeful number. It’s a probability distribution β€” best case, worst case, and everything in between. That’s how you make decisions you can actually trust. Learn more about Monte Carlo simulations.

From the community

What FIRE planners are saying

Finally an app for everyone chasing early retirement. The Monte Carlo output helped me understand my real risk exposure β€” not just a best-case projection. Thank you!

Love this app! Does exactly what I need without trying to sell me anything. The privacy aspect alone sold me β€” I don’t want my financial data floating in someone’s cloud.

I’ve tried Boldin and ProjectionLab. This does everything I actually need, on my phone, with no monthly fee. The Social Security optimizer alone is worth the $4.99.

Why this exists

β€œFinancial independence shouldn’t require you to choose between expensive subscriptions or surrendering your data privacy.”

I retired at 52 after 25 years in luxury hospitality. When I started planning my exit, I couldn’t find a tool that was statistically serious without harvesting my financial data or charging monthly fees. So I built one.

Retirement Success Graph exists because FIRE planning deserves professional-grade Monte Carlo modeling at a price that doesn’t undermine the very principle of financial independence.

Why I stopped using Boldin
and built this instead

Boldin is a capable platform. But for privacy-focused, DIY retirement planners, there are five reasons it fell short β€” and why Retirement Success Graph exists.

5 reasons the switch made sense

01

The subscription never made sense

At $144/year, Boldin costs over $4,300 across a 30-year retirement β€” for calculations any computer can run. Retirement Success Graph is $4.99. Once. Forever.

02

1,000 simulations isn’t enough

Boldin runs 1,000 Monte Carlo iterations β€” the bare industry minimum. RSG runs 10,000, delivering tighter confidence intervals precisely where retirees need them most: the extremes.

03

Your data belongs on your device

Boldin links accounts via Plaid and stores data on their servers. Even well-resourced institutions get breached. RSG performs every calculation on your iPhone β€” nothing ever leaves your device.

04

Complexity obscures clarity

250+ inputs create noise, not signal. RSG focuses on what actually drives outcomes β€” savings, withdrawal rate, time horizon, allocation β€” with Expert Mode for those who want deeper control.

05

Mobile-first, not mobile-adapted

Boldin is a web platform ported to mobile. RSG is a native iOS app built from the ground up for iPhone β€” haptic feedback, instant results, Apple design patterns throughout.

Boldin offers features RSG doesn’t β€” account aggregation, estate planning, CFP access, and extensive educational content. If those matter to you, it’s a legitimate choice. This comparison reflects our focus on privacy, statistical rigor, and one-time pricing for DIY FIRE planners. Read the full comparison β†’
