What's New
New features, improvements, and fixes — newest first.

✨ Enhancements
- Household step asks whether each person is still working, already retired, or never worked for a salary; Income adjusts to match.
- Expense and loan cards show the type of item with an icon; loan cards show the rate and balance.
- Year drop-downs offer only the years that make sense for each question.
- A rent start year can be set for households who plan to rent later.
- Action markers on the Net Worth chart are off by default; a checkbox turns them on.
- The Assumptions rail shows the entered spending figure and says what its dials start from while a preview is on screen.
- Help panels in the guided interview were reviewed screen by screen.

⚠️ Changes that can move numbers on existing plans
- Each person can now have their own HSA, individual or family, with the shared family limit and catch-ups; older plans with a single HSA are carried over automatically.
- A person who is already retired, or never earned a salary, is modeled that way: no contributions or matches are assumed for them.
- Safe to spend now searches below today's spending when the plan does not last; it may show a lower figure, or none, where it used to show today's spending.
- In the guided interview, a 1031 replacement property is now recorded the same way as in the form editor; a replacement entered earlier through the interview should be revisited.

📄 A better PDF report
- A new Executive Summary opens the report: where you stand, what needs attention now with what to do about it, your next steps, and the key disclosures up front.
- A plan saved from the Optimizer or a rescue preview says so on the cover and in the summary, with what changed and how the original plan looked without those changes.
- The report is written in plain US English throughout.

🎉 Plan version history
- Every save keeps the version it replaced, so any change can be undone.
- Restore any earlier version of a plan from the plans list.
- A copy of every plan was taken with this release, before anything changed.

🎉 Runway rescue: when the plan runs out, what would fix it
- If the optimized plan still runs dry, the Optimizer now measures the hard choices on your actual plan: spend less, retire later, work part-time, sell the home and rent, downsize, a reverse mortgage, sell a rental sooner, drop a planned expense, hold more in stocks.
- Each lever shows the year it buys you and whether it reaches the horizon; tick one or several and press Preview to see the result on every chart and table.
- A new Safe to spend figure shows the most the plan can carry every year in today's dollars.
- The Viewing bar names any lever in the preview, and a saved plan remembers which levers it was built with.

🎉 A new way to enter your plan: the guided interview
- Answer one plain question at a time, with the reason it matters and a typical answer shown beside it.
- Sensible defaults are filled in for you; accept them or change them.
- Questions that do not apply are skipped, so a retired spouse never sees a 401(k) question.
- Switch between the guided interview and the form editor at any point; both write the same plan.
- Available to everyone now: choose it when you create a plan, or from the toggle in the plan editor.

🐛 Bug fixes
- Reconcile with Budget described every figure as your "cleaned budget" regardless of which basis you picked. It now names the basis you actually chose. The figure was always correct; only the label was wrong.
- Two sections of the PDF report could leave a page nearly blank — the year-by-year schedule stranded its heading, and the RMDs and Roth conversions table could push two rows onto a page of their own. Both now flow properly.

⚡ Enhancements
- Property sale recommendations now account for how property actually works. Buying and selling close together rarely recovers the costs on both ends, so the optimizer no longer suggests it.
- When the optimizer does recommend selling as early as it sensibly can, the card now tells you that's what's happening — a useful signal that a property is a weak hold in your plan.
- Actions are now marked with a clear letter A on the net worth chart, so the things only you can do stand out from ordinary milestones at a glance.
- nestedge.finance has been rebuilt around real screenshots of the product — the actual charts, the actual action plan, the actual report.

✨ New features
- The optimizer now weighs in on properties you haven't bought yet. If your plan includes buying a rental down the road, it will tell you whether that purchase actually helps — and recommend skipping it when your plan comes out ahead without it. It checks that against the best possible sale timing first, so a purchase worth making is never talked out of.
- Your PDF report now lists every year of every action. Multi-year actions used to print a total, but "about $124k a year" is an average and nobody places a trade for an average. The Action Plan now shows each individual year with its amount and the tax it triggers.
- The plan wizard now checks property dates against each other as you type, so a plan can't quietly rest on a timeline that doesn't work.

⚙️ You can switch individual Optimizer steps off
- Every Optimizer phase can be locked, and the progress screen now shows which are running and which you asked it to skip.
