Flexible Retirement Planner Support Forum

Hi Jim, I probably should have added that my main model has very simple assumptions. First I do not use any standard deviations anywhere. Second my growth rate is set to a flat 5% and 3% inflation (no stnd devs). Also my spending per year is fixed to specific dollar amounts. Therefore I think it wou...

Hi Jim, That's really interesting information, thanks for sharing! As mentioned in my post a couple of days ago, I am one year into my retirement. I was planning to keep all my historical information right in the planner. That is why I asked to fix my retirement year, or starting year of the simulat...

Thanks Jim!

So I do keep my retirement age of 61 constant but when I run the simulation in 2024 the first line of my (2023) simulation shows 2024 next to my age (61). When I ran it in 2023 it correctly showed 2023 (Age 61) and the first line r...

Hi there, After recently updating my Mac to Catalina I ran into an issue opening or saving FRP files too. Having reviewed other solutions here and elsewhere none of them worked for me so I thought I'd post my resolution: - Go to System Preferences, Security & Privacy, then the Privacy Tab - Clic...

That's awesome Jim. Thanks so much!

I'll give the Beta a try.

Great idea Jim, I’m not using the tax-free portfolio so I’ll give this a go.

Thanks! Nick

Hi Jim, Fantastic tool - thanks for all that you do. I was wondering whether it would be possible for you to add an additional option or change the way the user can select the "order for withdrawals" in the settings. I'd really like to have an option to pull from tax-deferred 1st, then tax...
