Avenir — Retirement planning built for irregular income

Avenir is a digital retirement platform designed to help people who earn outside the traditional employment system—freelancers, traders, gig workers, creators, and small business owners—build a more secure financial future.

Unlike traditional retirement solutions that are often built around fixed salaries, employer contributions, or complex financial processes, Avenir is designed around the reality of irregular income. It gives users a simple and intuitive way to plan, save, and track their retirement while adapting to how they actually earn.

The product brings retirement planning into a familiar digital experience, helping users understand where they stand financially and make consistent progress toward their long-term goals without needing to be financial experts.

(02) Project goals

The goal of Avenir was to rethink retirement planning for the modern workforce by creating a flexible and intelligent experience that works for people with different income patterns.

The product was designed to make long-term financial planning feel less complicated and more achievable. Instead of forcing users into a rigid savings structure, Avenir aims to adapt to their financial reality and encourage consistent progress over time.

The key goals were to:

  • Make retirement planning accessible to people without traditional employment or fixed salaries.
  • Simplify complex financial decisions through a clear and intuitive user experience.
  • Adapt to irregular income, allowing users to build their plans around how they actually earn.
  • Give users visibility into their progress so they can understand how their contributions are building toward their future.
  • Encourage long-term financial confidence by making retirement planning feel simple, personal, and achievable.
