I thought my apartment counted toward my income independence goal. The IPR showed it doesn't — since I live in it, it can't generate income or be sold without disrupting my life. That one reframing changed how I think about everything.
I assumed my FDs were safe and steady. The IPR showed me the net return after tax was much lower than I expected. We restructured part of it to work harder toward my retirement goal — with actual numbers and a clear plan, not just advice.
I came in thinking I was well covered on insurance. The IPR flagged that my health cover is dangerously low for my age and situation — something I had completely overlooked. Straightforward, specific, no jargon.
