HOW THEY DID IT
Key elements of their plan
1
We simulated her $20k certification course by creating an 18-month event for the payment plan. We also set up an income drop when she switches over to her new career.
2
By delaying retirement, we found a way for her to afford switching careers. We created a second future where instead of delaying retirement, she delays her career change.
3
Finally, we created yet another future where she doesn't have to delay retirement OR her transition. By shifting her extra income from bank savings to investments, she'll make up the difference with long-term investment gains.
