How do I use the Retirement Savings Projection Calculator?: Navigate to the Calculator page from the Retirement section or the site header. Enter your current savings, expected contributions, retirement age, and expected rate of return to see a projection of your retirement savings.
Is the AI assistant (Finster) giving personalized financial advice?: Finster provides general educational guidance and suggestions based on the prompts you provide. It is not a substitute for professional, licensed financial advice. Use Finster to explore ideas and prepare questions for a financial advisor.
