Jordan King

Jordan King is the founder of Beacon, a web developer, and the author of Beacon's educational guides on tracking investable assets and planning for financial independence.

Jordan builds practical tools and writes about the decisions behind long-term financial planning. Through Beacon, he focuses on making financial independence easier to understand by connecting current investable assets, savings, spending, expected returns, and withdrawal-rate assumptions to a transparent projected date.

Beacon is Canadian personal-finance software for manually tracking investable assets and modeling a deterministic financial independence date. Jordan's articles explain the inputs, trade-offs, and limitations behind those models. They are educational and are not personal financial, investment, tax, legal, or retirement planning advice.

Editorial methodology

Articles make assumptions explicit, distinguish investable assets from total net worth, and link to primary public sources where current data is used. Beacon reviews articles for clarity and updates time-sensitive references when source data materially changes the explanation.

Content does not recommend specific investments or replace advice from a qualified professional who can consider an individual's circumstances.
