I made a free educational tool that helps people to see how very specific life changes and various financial events affect their entire financial future. I'm a dentist with a lot of finance and business background and just wanted to share it for anyone's use and to see if anyone has any feedback on it to make it better.
Share your thoughts on the major dental facebook groups in the US! (Dental Nachos, Clinical Dental Pearls, etc)
I'm a recent grad and wanted to share a free tool I made that I thought was pretty helpful for understanding what I needed to be making in my first years out of school taking into account massive student loans and comparing repayment plans so I could be on track for retirement and meeting financial goals. Hopefully useful at nearly any point in a career, so thought I'd share it here!

I just finished with dental school in the last year and wanted to share a tool that I thought was pretty helpful for understanding what I needed to be making as a new grad taking into account massive student loans as well as comparing repayment plans so I could be on track for retirement and meeting financial goals.
Best free and useful tool I've used.

Looking for early user feedback on my free app. I didn't like that I could never find a detailed enough projection tool so I made my own, to compare timing for buying a house now or later, student loan repayment options, stock allocation strategies, and everything else I could think of over the last years and finally decided to post it online for others to try out.
Released it a week ago and have been making tons of edits as I get info back from friends and strangers.
Looking for any and all feedback! (Also I'm sorry, super accurate USA tax, pretty accurate Canada tax, no other countries yet)
I made a free resource for financial planning/eduction, and when I thought it was good and useable I started sharing it with people I knew and posted it to some forums. Bounce rate was >90%, whole user experience wasn't great, product wasn't refined at all. It's been about a week and I keep making edits daily as I get feedback and experiment with the app to find new issues.
Does anyone have advice on where to go from here? I think it's a bit more polished now and I'd like to keep getting feedback, but I feel like I've tapped my few resources. Here's the link if anyone's curious or wants to share impressions (very unlikely to be monetized, I just made it for fun as a resource and will only introduce cost if the server gets expensive)
Reddit is telling me that about 8% of people who saw my calculator post are from Canada, so I added a toggle that applies Canadian tax math and systems instead of United States. Hope y'all find it useful!

For the last several years I've made a program that calculates out all my expected taxes, expenses, career change events, kids expenses and tax credits, factors in varying inflation and rates of return and anything else I could think of to see if I'm on track for early retirement, and it projects when I can retire and with how much. I wanted to be able to toggle on and off events and change numbers to see how things would play out in different scenarios. I made a version into a website so some friends could use it. Hopefully someone finds it as useful as I have over the last few years.

My disclaimer is that it may be a little much in terms of options so I made a "Casual Mode" you can select that gets rid of a lot of options for those that feel less financially savvy. Also, like any spreadsheet, the website is optimized for desktop use but should work fine on mobile.
