Hello, Product Hunt! 👋
After talking to users and iterating for 3 months, we just launched Gurgee 2.0.
Gurgee's goal is to optimize your path to financial freedom (FF).
(FF is when you have enough money invested to pay for all your expenses. Some people call this retirement, or financial independence.)
Within a few minutes, you'll know:
💰 How much money do you need to reach FF?
🏦 What's your savings rate?
⏱ How long will it take you to reach FF?
🧾 Which spending categories should you pay attention to?
Next up: We are currently working on features that will help you reach FF faster ⚡️ (by showing you which debts to pay first, which insurance companies to pick, where to invest, etc...)
Thoughts/ideas/questions? Let us know. 🙏🏼

@richardreeze Looks cool! Few things: 1) How are you monetizing? Plaid isn't cheap, yet the app is free. 2) I'm unable to see investment companies in the Plaid connection screen (ones I know Plaid offers sine I've used other apps to connect them) which limits my whole financial picture.
@joshkennedy Hi Josh, thanks!
To answer your questions:
1. We aren't monetizing yet (right now we are just focused on building something people love). Plaid isn't cheap but we did build a few rules into the app that make us spend less.
2. Sorry about that, there seems to be an error with the App Store. We launched our 2.0 version and Apple accepted it but the App Store still doesn't show it :/ (what you have is the 1.5 version... which is a shame)

Congrats on the launch @richardreeze. So awesome what you've built so far and can't wait to see how far you take it!
@guilhermeocosta Hi Guilherme, absolutely! I have family there and they always ask me when will it finally be available :)
Like I said in a previous comment, every country has slightly different steps that lead to financial independence. So we must take those into account before launching outside.

@richardreeze Nice to hear it, Richard! If you let me give some advice, I would tell you to build a waitlist page with country and e-mail infos. This way you can focus on highly demanded areas :)
Good luck and I will keep following Gurgee. Hugs from Brazil!

Anything on the roadmap for connecting to investment accounts? IRA, 401k, etc.
@britaingreen Hi Britain! We already connect to investment accounts but Apple is taking time to show the 2.0 version (if you look at the App Store link, it only shows our 1.5 version with the old name and logo).
I contacted Apple and they said it will update today. So soon you'll be able to link investment accounts :) and I'll be able to stop refreshing the App Store every 5min...
Sorry about the little confusion!
