Inputs
Methodology (plain-English)
Rule of Thumb: quick starting point (e.g., 10–15× income) plus big goals/liabilities, minus what you already have.
DIME: Debt + Income×Years + Mortgage + Education (+ final) − existing.
Human Life Value: present value of future earnings (optionally growing), plus goals/liabilities, minus existing assets/coverage.
Educational only—not advice.
