This is great, and I'll say it again and again that we need to keep it simple. Otherwise, this flow chart would be sufficient. So from the viewpoint of the user, I step in, give you some basic info, and the site/app gives me a step-by-step of what to do.
What are the inputs? -Income (monthly; net after tax) -Fixed expenses -Debts (with interest rates) -Employer 401(k) matching info -Current emergency fund size
What's the output?
User visits site and selects financial health check and is presented with a single question on each "screen". The screen will have a little icon to view more info about why this question is asked, etc; however it's supposed to be simple and straight to the point.
Note: behind the scenes we can capture IP, and use it to see where the user is located. We use that info to generalize a cost of living. The point here is to reduce the complexity and make some general assumptions from the beginning.
this details the simple profile
Comments on the above:
EDIT see repo here
The idea is that the site would walk the user through the following decision tree in a very simplified manner. This creates a snapshot of the current financial health which could be used to create suggestions on what to do next in order to improve their FI (financial independence)
