What the number actually means
Financial freedom gets talked about like a feeling. It’s arithmetic — the point where what your money earns covers what your life costs, and work becomes something you choose rather than something you owe. Most people carry a vague, inflated version of that number and never test it. This replaces the guess with a figure you can plan against, and shows which lever moves it fastest for you. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
You can’t design a system around a number you’ve never named.
