RICH2FIRE CORE TOOL · REVIEW THE FIT
Your FIRE path can stay useful while your money, energy, responsibilities or priorities change. This review makes room for all of those changes—ordinary, difficult or welcome.
A quiet starting point
Calibration is a gentle review beside the Five FIRE Paths. It helps you notice what still fits, what changed, and what might deserve a small experiment.
No saved baseline was found. That is completely fine—you can begin undecided and add numbers later only if they help.Or compare the Five FIRE Paths first
Later, only if useful
The complete review moves through one small section at a time. Every section can be skipped, and the result keeps four separate signals instead of combining them into one score.
MODEL & DATA CARD
What this reflection can answerSeparates a FIRE-plan review into numbers, daily capacity, meaning and resilience, then helps the user name one next decision. It does not score readiness, predict an outcome or diagnose distress.
Each optional answer is kept as its own signal: still fits, deserves review, needs change or skipped. Signals are never weighted or added into a total. Suggested experiments are simple mappings from the selected signals, not statistical recommendations. A snapshot and any Five Paths baseline update require separate, explicit actions.
The tool uses only the baseline already stored on the device and the user’s current selections. It has no external dataset or live feed. CFPB goal-revision guidance, Investor.gov planning guidance and peer-reviewed goal-adjustment research inform the questions, but this exact reflection has not been validated as a psychometric or financial-suitability instrument.
Every question can be skipped; no answer silently changes another signal. Saved research-safe history excludes exact financial amounts, while changing the formal Five Paths baseline requires a second confirmation. Automated tests cover migration, sanitisation, record limits, deletion and explicit baseline merging.
Answers are self-reports from one moment and can change with mood, information and circumstances. The tool does not test portfolio sustainability, tax, insurance, legal needs, medical risk or mental health. A major or irreversible decision may require time, updated facts and qualified local support; choosing to pause is a valid result.
Automated tests check the software’s mappings, storage boundaries and confirmation steps. They do not show that the questions measure a psychological construct, improve decisions or produce better FIRE outcomes.
External sources explain the data or method; they do not endorse Rich2Fire or its outputs.
