About this tool

What is
Get Secure?

Get Secure is a self-directed planning tool for anyone living with financial insecurity -- on any income, in any country.

It is built on a simple idea: you already have more than you know. Your lived experience, skills, relationships, and resilience are human capital -- assets that can be activated, developed, and multiplied. This tool helps you see that clearly, plan deliberately, and move forward with your own agency intact.

The threshold hypothesis

Research by Kahneman, Deaton, and Killingsworth shows that there is a crossing point -- a level of income at which financial stress lifts, choices expand, and wellbeing improves significantly. We call this the threshold.

This tool calculates your personal threshold, models the pathway to reaching it, and builds a plan around your specific human capital and circumstances. The goal is not wealth. It is income security -- enough to feel stable, to stop surviving and start living.

AI as a human capital multiplier

AI has fundamentally changed what is possible for people with limited financial resources. Learning that once required expensive courses now happens in minutes. Communications that once required professional help can now be written in seconds. Planning that once required paid advisers is now accessible to everyone.

Get Secure includes an AI Multiplier Audit -- a structured exercise that identifies exactly where AI can compress your timeline from financial insecurity to income security. It covers five zones: learning faster, earning more, building cheaper, reaching further, and managing better.
