BridgeBurn

BridgeBurn is a mobile + web app that helps near-retirees model the messy “in-between” years: leaving full-time work, part-time income, healthcare gaps, Social Security timing, and sequence-of-returns risk. Users connect accounts (or enter manually), then build an “Exit Plan” with multiple scenarios: retire now, coast for 2 years, consult 10 hours/week, or delay Social Security. The app stress-tests each plan with Monte Carlo simulations and plain-English warnings (e.g., “Your plan fails if markets drop 25% in year 1 and you keep spending flat”). It also includes a checklist for non-financial exits: benefits end dates, pension elections, required minimum distributions, and spouse contingencies. This is not a robo-advisor; it’s a decision tool that shows tradeoffs, uncertainty, and what levers actually matter.
