Hi HN - here is a tool I built to provide modelling around an individuals journey to financial freedom, a journey which fascinates me and one I believe is worth optimising.

One of the biggest challenges I faced in my own journey was knowing exactly how to balance living well today with my goal of reaching freedom as early as possible. This is why I built Opul - to provide the modelling that enables better financial decisions by quantifying these kind of tradeoffs.

A key use of the tool I find helpful is when I'm deciding between spending today and the amount of future freedom that translates to. Eg What budget allows me to enjoy life now whilst reaching financial freedom when I want? What is the impact on future freedom of a $5 a day lunch habit? How about a $200 a month gym membership?

I hope Opul can help you make more optimal and precise decisions too. Feedback welcome.
