those are valid takes. I have build a feature in Guapital that takes current value of the asset, and project its annual compound growth to project the future warchest size. the projection is updated automatically with Plaid, so you can see your warchest grow in real time.

i built the Guapital's net worth ranking percentile system as a way to gamify their finance. and like in any sport, if you want to get to the top 1%, you really need to work hard for it, and i hope this system can motivate the users to work hard to achieve financial freedom.

thank you for your input, these are comments engage me to think more about the impacts on the users. i would love to hear more from you.

1) that's a very good insight. and that was my original plan to compare net worth with the entire country. but as i do more research, the net worth distribution is wildly distorted from age group to age group. for instance, the median net worth for age under 35 is about $39k, but for age group 35-44 the median net worth jumps to $135k, that's almost 4 times larger in span of 10 years.

2) i think that's my next step if there are interests showing for user wanting to know where they at compare to their peer, my main blocker for this feature is personal data sharing, some user might not like to share too much information regarding their finance. So we will see how this goes.

thank you for your input, these are very great questions touch on the core concept of the app.

unfortunately, this is the part where i struggle too, so please let me know if you have found any better method. currently, i'm trying to dm people on subreddit and discord, basically cold email/dm people to try out the app.

first time founder here, so take my advice lightly. from my research, the way to approach your launch is to find your ICP (ideal customer profile). after you know whom your target is, go to reddit and genuinely comment and solve their pain point, and lightly hint that you are currently working on a solution to solve that (sell your solution). this process takes way longer than ppc route, but it's effective. would love to see other's approach as well
