What it does

Financial Independence Roadmap is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Map a realistic path toward financial independence — the number you'd actually need, your savings rate's massive effect on the timeline, and the honest tradeoffs. Use when asked how do I reach financial independence, explain FIRE, what's my FI number, or plan for financial freedom. Produces an educational read on your rough FI number (and why the savings rate matters more than income), the timeline math at different savings rates, the levers and lifestyle tradeoffs, the different flavors (lean/coast/full), and…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked how do I reach financial independence
  • Whats my FI number
  • Plan for financial freedom

Example prompts

  • “d actually need, your savings rate”
  • “/financial-independence-roadmap”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Estimate the number. Use a common rule of thumb (a multiple of annual spending) to get a rough target — clearly flagged as illustrative…
  2. Reveal the savings-rate math. Show how a higher savings rate dramatically shortens the timeline — it's the single biggest lever, far more…
  3. Make the timeline concrete. Rough years-to-FI at a few savings rates, so the person sees the tradeoff between saving intensity and time.
  4. Offer the flavors. Full FI is one option; coast FI (enough that it grows to FI without more contributions), lean, and partial FI are…
  5. Name the tradeoffs honestly. Saving hard has a real cost in present living; help find a balance that isn't miserable now for a someday…
  6. Flag the traps. Lifestyle inflation, over-optimistic withdrawal/return assumptions, and treating the number as the point rather than the…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Financial Independence Roadmap loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 160 tokens; SKILL.md has 614 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~160
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Map a realistic path toward financial independence — the number you'd actually need, your savings rate's massive effect on the timeline, and the honest tradeoffs. Use when asked how do I reach financial independence, explain FIRE, what's my FI number, or plan for financial freedom. Produces an educational read on your rough FI number (and why the savings rate matters more than income), the timeline math at different savings rates, the levers and lifestyle tradeoffs, the different flavors (lean/coast/full), and the traps — turning a vague dream of freedom into a directional plan. Not financial advice.

Financial-Independence Roadmap

Financial independence — having enough that work becomes optional — sounds like a fantasy until you see the math: it's driven far more by your savings rate than your income, because a high savings rate both builds the pot faster and shrinks the pot you need. This gives an educational roadmap: your rough number, how savings rate bends the timeline, the flavors of FI, and the honest tradeoffs. Not financial advice.

What This Skill Produces

  • Your rough FI number — an educational estimate of the pot that could sustain your spending (based on common rules of thumb, flagged as illustrative)
  • The savings-rate revelation — how your savings rate, more than income, determines the timeline (and why)
  • Timeline math — a rough sense of the years to FI at different savings rates, so the tradeoff is concrete
  • The flavors — lean FI, coast FI, barista/partial FI, full FI — so it's not all-or-nothing
  • Levers & tradeoffs — the honest tension between saving hard now and living now, and how to find your balance
  • The traps — lifestyle inflation, an over-optimistic withdrawal assumption, and forgetting that FI is a means, not the point

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Your numbers — income, spending, current savings/investments
  • Your spending target — what annual spending you'd want in independence
  • Your why — full early retirement, or just optionality/security
  • Region — for the (educational) caveats around tax and safe-withdrawal norms

Framework: The Number, The Rate, The Tradeoffs

  1. Estimate the number. Use a common rule of thumb (a multiple of annual spending) to get a rough target — clearly flagged as illustrative, not a guarantee.
  2. Reveal the savings-rate math. Show how a higher savings rate dramatically shortens the timeline — it's the single biggest lever, far more than a bigger income spent as fast as it grows.
  3. Make the timeline concrete. Rough years-to-FI at a few savings rates, so the person sees the tradeoff between saving intensity and time.
  4. Offer the flavors. Full FI is one option; coast FI (enough that it grows to FI without more contributions), lean, and partial FI are others — it's a spectrum, not a cliff.
  5. Name the tradeoffs honestly. Saving hard has a real cost in present living; help find a balance that isn't miserable now for a someday that may not come.
  6. Flag the traps. Lifestyle inflation, over-optimistic withdrawal/return assumptions, and treating the number as the point rather than the freedom it buys.

Output Format

FI roadmap: spending target [x] · from [current savings]

Rough FI number: ~[illustrative multiple of spending] — a target, not a guarantee. The big lever — savings rate: [how it bends the timeline more than income]. Years to FI (rough): at [rate A] ~[years] · at [rate B] ~[years]. Flavors: lean / coast / partial / full — [which might fit you]. The honest tradeoff: [saving hard now vs living now — finding balance]. Traps: lifestyle inflation · over-optimistic assumptions · number-as-the-point.

Educational, not financial advice. Numbers are illustrative rules of thumb; real returns, tax, and safe-withdrawal rates vary by situation and country.

Quality Checks

  • Gives a rough, clearly-illustrative FI number
  • Reveals that savings rate drives the timeline more than income
  • Makes the timeline concrete at a few savings rates
  • Presents the flavors (lean/coast/partial/full), not all-or-nothing
  • Names the save-now-vs-live-now tradeoff honestly
  • Flags the traps; states not financial advice

Anti-Patterns

  • Presenting the FI number as precise or guaranteed.
  • Focusing on income while ignoring savings rate.
  • All-or-nothing full-FIRE framing with no flavors.
  • Ignoring the present-living cost of extreme saving.
  • Financial advice rather than education.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I reach financial independence? Explain the path."
  • "What's my FI number and how long would it take?"
  • "Explain FIRE and whether it's realistic for me."
  • "Plan a roadmap to financial freedom."
  • "Is early retirement actually achievable on my income?"
