tugboatt··on Monte-Carlo Simulations
I (and Claude) have been working on an open source monte carlo based retirement tool for quite a while now. Its definitely geared towards people with more individual financial ownership and tech knowledge but I feel it gives good flexibility for me to model my situation. I had initially gravitated to this project because I think Monte Carlo and numerical methods are just so dang fun.

tugboatt··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
I have been working on a Monte Carlo financial planning / retirement scenario simulation with a TUI interface.

All written in rust. The simulation engine has been solid for a while and the TUI is finally starting to expose all of the options needed to really configure a complete simulation.
