Ask HN: How do you do financial planning?

1 pointsby py4over 2 years ago
Do you outsource your financial planning or do you prefer to do it yourself? Is there an AI that can outperform a human financial planner?<p>My goal is to automate the process of making financial decisions based on user profiles, including age, conservativeness, estimated retirement age, and estimated retirement funds.<p>The whole problem of {user profile, context, set of possible actions} -&gt; {action} seems doable to me.<p>For example, if I am confronted with a new concept like an RRSP (US eq of 401K) loan, I would like an app that can calculate whether it&#x27;s worth taking the loan based on the potential profit and tax benefits. Or I have a line of credit offer. Can I make profit from it?

There are numerous tools available for helping with financial decisions. There are is a great community at Bogelheads [0] that you can learn lots from. Given that you are asking about RRSP, I&#x27;ll guess that you are in Canada, Financial Wisdom and finiki are specific to Canada.<p>Finiki doesn&#x27;t have a very long list of Canadian calculators [3]. The US has quite a few [4].<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bogelheads.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bogelheads.org</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.financialwisdomforum.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.financialwisdomforum.org&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.finiki.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Main_Page" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.finiki.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Main_Page</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.finiki.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Canadian_retirement_software_%26_calculators" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.finiki.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Canadian_retirement_software_%26...</a><p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bogleheads.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Retirement_calculators_and_spending" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bogleheads.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Retirement_calculators_and_s...</a>
