Nest Egg Guru PF is a free personal finance (PF) website that was created to fill the void left by the closure of popular account aggregation and budgeting app Mint.com on March 31, 2024. Our goal is to “democratize” personal finance by making professional financial planning software and educational content available to consumers without the need to hire a financial advisor. Nest Egg Guru PF’s founder, J.R. Robinson, is a co-founder of personal finance software maker Nest Egg Guru and is the owner of Honolulu-based Financial Planning Hawaii and Fee-Only Planning Hawaii.
Nest Egg Guru PF offers three valuable services to consumers:
Access to eMoney
eMoney is the leading planning software platform used by financial advisors in the U.S. Like Mint, eMoney is lauded for its clean, user-friendly experience, but its functionality far exceeds what Mint provided. While eMoney is only available on a subscription basis to financial advisors, consumers can now gain free access to eMoney on this website through Financial Planning Hawaii’s professional subscription.
Access to Nest Egg Guru’s Retirement Savings and Spending simulation apps
These two unique, interactive apps give consumers a way to test their savings and spending preparedness and to quickly and easily test how changing variables within their control may impact their outcomes. The apps were created to solve for some of the well-documented limitations of traditional Monte Carlo simulation software.
Engaging Educational Content
Much of the content found on personal finance blogs (or on YouTube or Tik Tok) is either canned/generic content from advisors or is produced by “finfluencers” who may or may not be qualified to be providing financial guidance. The content on this website is produced by an experienced financial planner and is written to engage and inform. The articles are presented with snippet introductions that quickly allow the site visitor to determine whether the article is worth a click to read.
All content on the site is produced by J.R. Robinson, a financial planner with more than 35 years of industry experience. J.R. has published many peer-reviewed journal papers (including award-winning papers on retirement income sustainability) and scores of thought leadership articles on a wide range of financial planning topics. His commentary has been cited in virtually every national financial news media outlet, and he has twice been included on Investopedia’s list of the most influential financial advisors in America.
A Truly FREE Service
Nest Egg Guru PF is being launched as a truly free service to help engage and educate consumers. We do not sell your personal data and no one from Financial Planning Hawaii, Fee-Only Planning Hawaii, or Nest Egg Guru will solicit you. Use the site. Plan your future. Live long and prosper.
eMONEY KNOWLEDGE BASE
Since Nest Egg Guru PF operates as a completely free consumer resource, we are not able to provide software support via phone, chat, or email. in lieu of this, the knowledge base contains an extensive, topically-sorted list of eMoney help articles.
