Ever Wondered...“When Can I Retire?”

Your money moves in stages:
Cash → Invested → Compounding → Income

Retirement happens when your money reaches the income stage.
See where you are.

Let's start simple

Start with what you already have

Let's not overcomplicate this. Everything begins with cash. Money sitting in an account. Maybe earning a little. Maybe not. That's just where you are right now.

The real question is: What should this money be doing for you?

Be honest about your stage

Here's what I see all the time. People either jump into things they don't fully understand — or they freeze and do nothing.

Neither works. There's a natural way money grows, step by step. And once you see your stage clearly, you stop guessing.

Let's talk about your number

This is the part most people avoid. If you didn't have to work tomorrow — what would you actually need each year to feel secure?

Not a dream number. Not something that sounds impressive. Your number. Because once you name it, you have a goal you've actually defined.

If you stopped working tomorrow…
would your life still work?

Be honest. This shapes everything that comes next.

Step 2 — Where do you stand?

Tell us what you have, what you earn without working, and what you need. Everything else follows from that.

Your first name

What you have

Your Assets

Include everything — even if it feels small. We use this to see which stage of the spectrum your capital is already in.

🏠 Home equity

🌍 Other assets

Income and goal

What comes in — and what you need

Be honest. These two numbers reveal your gap — or confirm you are closer than you think.

Income you earn without working (annual)

Rent, dividends, distributions — anything that arrives while you sleep. Enter 0 if none.

Annual savings rate

How much you save or invest each year across all accounts. Enter 0 if you are living on assets.

What does your life actually cost you each year?

Not a dream number. The amount that would let you live without a paycheck.

SIP Method™ · The Spectrum

Different investments
play different roles.

Some protect you. Some grow with you. Some ask you to give them time. Where you fall on that spectrum depends on where you are now, what you're aiming for, and how comfortable you are not having access to that money for a while.
