Fire on Track is a financial planning platform designed to help individuals monitor and achieve their Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) goals. Currently in its alpha testing phase, the platform allows users to track their progress toward financial autonomy by providing tools that consolidate personal financial data and offer actionable insights. At the core of Fire on Track is FIRE Mate, an AI-powered financial assistant that interacts with users to analyze their income, expenses, savings, and investment patterns. FIRE Mate delivers personalized recommendations, highlights potential gaps in savings strategies, and simulates different retirement scenarios based on user-defined parameters such as target retirement age, desired annual spending, and risk tolerance.

For advanced users, it provides granular breakdowns of expenses by category, historical net worth trends, and
