Why are there so many arbitrary limits on all the inputs here?

Yeah, odd. Can't retire before 50. Can't save more than 100k / yr, can't have more than 1M in savings. Pretty much excluded most of the FIRE community
Excluded me twice. It almost seems like it's set up to allow only inputs that lead to a "you're screwed" result. Bit of an agenda, perhaps?
fwiw, I (not a member of the FIRE community) added my real life inputs and did not get a "you're screwed" result.
I'm not sure why this was downvoted as it is a very easy to use site.

It helped me retire early (along with fire calc)
