Illustrative example

Financial planning should not only tell you to save more.

Sometimes the honest answer is that you could spend a little more, or work a little less, and still be on track. A good plan gives you permission as often as it gives you caution.

Your financial picture

Track what you have, where it is invested, and what your life costs.

Your financial plan is only useful if it reflects your real life. Waypoint brings your assets, investments, and spending together so you can understand what is changing and how it may affect your path.

See your complete net worth in one place

Track your assets and liabilities over time, understand what is driving your progress, and see how changes in your net worth may affect your work-optional estimate.

Total net worth$842,400
Investable assets$516,800
+$74,200 this year

Your investable assets are growing faster than your total spending.

Understand where your money is invested

See how your investable assets are divided across accounts and asset types, identify major concentrations, and understand how your allocation fits into your broader financial path.

  • US stocks · 48%
  • Bonds & cash · 22%
  • Real estate · 15%
  • Int'l stocks · 8%
  • Crypto · 5%
  • Other · 2%

48% of your investable assets are currently concentrated in US equities.

Understand what your life actually costs

Track your spending over time, separate essential expenses from flexible spending, and see how your lifestyle affects the amount you may need for work to become optional.

Avg. monthly spending$8,450
Est. annual spending$101,400

Reducing annual spending by $8,000 could move your estimated work-optional age forward by approximately one year.
