Retirement Buddy is an AI-powered retirement planning service that creates personalized strategic retirement plans and proactively guides users through critical financial decisions—eliminating the complexity and time investment required by traditional planning tools or expensive financial advisors.

- Emotional Intelligence Support - Anxiety assessment, progress celebrations, and confidence-building features that address the psychological aspects of retirement planning ignored by all financial calculation tools
