This calculator serves as a stark wake-up call for visualizing the long-term impact of overspending, though its title is a bit of a misnomer since it projects future net worth rather than solving for required income. It compares your current trajectory against a leaner target budget, showing exactly how much wealth you can salvage by cutting fixed costs before retirement. Keep in mind that the tool uses a single blended interest rate for both savings and debt; if you carry high-interest credit card balances, your actual downward trajectory might be even steeper than the numbers suggest.
