What’s the best app for doing tax planning and roth conversions in retirement and mapping out spending etc? Not sure if this exists but I’d love an app where I can input all my financials and it gives me the optimal plan for where to pull my money from and how much to convert, year after year, etc. something mentioned something called ‘boldin’ or something like that? Never heard of it though.

You don't know what you don't know. DIY planning software depends 100% on your inputs and ability to navigate all possibilities. I'd suggest, at minimum, a one-time fee only meeting with a CFP or other qualified professional to guide you through the process. If you're comfortable with managing their recommendations beyond that, the software would be a great tool to have at your disposal. Tax laws and limits change every year. Be prepared to stay on top of those things if you go the DIY route. With a few errors or omissions, you could easily pay or give away much more than a professional would charge

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

Hi FIRE friends! My mom is going to get about 250k from the sale of her house in a few days.

I’d love to get all of your thoughts, where do you think she can put the money from the sale of her home?

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:

- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
