FIRE_simulation
v1.0
20200618

A personal finance simulation to predict retirement date. 

with some adjustable variables, and some probabilistic variables, you can run a simulation of 500 clones of yourself pre->post FIRE and see how many clones retire at what years.

Some clones get lucky with the market and eg low child costs -> retire early.
Some clones get bad luck and take a few more years to retire!

can also track a clones assets, income, savings rate over time.

Also can use to stress-test (eg poor market returns), and goal seek (assets go to zero when i die. to retire earlier)

Top right are variables about me.
Top left are market variables.
bottom right are simulant/clone (output) info.

Middle 'folder' represents a clone of me.

some vars arent fixed, rather probabilities eg child costs being unknown, i have normally distributed it (my half of costs) around $12k pa and each clone of me gets a random cost on the dist for the simulation. I will add and update in next version

programming notes:
-market return years running consecutively not random.
-future years return FIRE rule
-cap_gains and pay_super flows can now be neg
-intro of super still seems too high, grows too much after 60
-rearrange user input variables

To do:
-get actual historical dividends
-goalseek to die with 0 assets -> minimise retirement age.
-year begin not integer?
-auto interpolation seems good.
-tidy the fucking model map mess
-fix child costs at initial random dist.
We live in the "new normal" where a college degree does not guarantee any graduate a great job.  In a shrinking economy with a smaller middle class - unemployment rates are higher among those with out degrees - however going into debt just to get that BA/BS may not guarantee a solid career and futur

This insight series suggests there may be other important factors that predict good careers and  income streams than just a college degree.

This is the first Insight in the series. It is a simple, more "traditional" naive model of how education works, with an increased lifetime earnings from going to college.

This is the second Insight in the series. It takes into account the potential cost of student loans in the case that the student does not manage to pass college or does not succeed in their career.

This is the third Insight in the series. It illustrates the difference in savings over time for a doctor or for a skilled worker who went to a trade school.
