Open-source financial independence dashboard

FIRE Dashboard

Introduction

The FIRE (financial independence, retire early) dashboard is an open source dashboard to monitor common financial independence metrics without needing to use complicated spreadsheets. Currently supported metrics include net worth, emergency fund coverage, current savings rate and financial independence year.

This is a FREE platform that is built and managed entirely by volunteers. As always, there are ongoing costs to run this site such as servers, domains, email, and more. Please consider becoming a patron so we can continue our mission of being accessible and free ❤️

Getting Started

Start by cloning this repository:

git clone https://github.com/matthewsmorrison/fire-dashboard.git

Next, install the dependencies for the web application:

 npm install

Then simply start the development server to run the application:

  npm start

Supporting FIRE Dashboard

Our goal is to keep FIRE Dashboard a free platform because we believe that everyone should have the ability to understand and use the principles of financial independence. However, there are inevitably some costs incurred with creating a platform like this. We could use your help! If you're just as passionate about the FIRE Dashboard as we are then we would appreciate your support on Patreon. Here, you can sign up to be a member and help support our mission.

Community Feedback

The original version of this dashboard was built was a lot of community feedback via Reddit (thank you again 🙏). We would like this to continue and therefore encourage you to post any issues in the tracker or come and chat to us in the Reddit community.
