having to update retirement age and current age

I retired 8 years ago. At the time, along with all the other parameters, I entered a certain amount as my "annual spend" and the inflation rate (which I updated more recently). I set the annual spend to adjust with inflation, i.e., if I set aside $100k for year 1 and inflation is 2%, I ass...

My plan would be to invest these proceeds in a portfolio but there was no way to represent that. So, t...
