Hey all, I wrote this little Blab after struggling to visualize the impact of budgeting and investments in the long term. People kept telling me to save and invest, but I wanted to see empirically why this is true.

Features I'd like to add:

  - Better taxation rules
  - Specific asset classes and investment accounts with 
    associated taxation, withdraw limits, and contribution limits
  - Investment allocation strategy with a changing risk profile 
    and tax conscious account allocation
  - Social security income
  - Highlighting the "important" factors 
    (i.e., the ones that impact the plot the most)
  - A probabilistic simulation to get a better result estimate 
    (i.e., confidence intervals)
If you want to contribute, that'd be awesome! You can also easily fork it. If you have questions, I'm happy to answer them here!
