Manually Set Start Date?

Is there any way to manually set the start date for the simulation?

It seems FRP always starts with the current date. I couldn't figure out a way to run simulations in the future with account values I expected at that time (instead of what FRP calculates from todays values)

I think the simplest way to do that is to replace the current age field with the age you'll be in the year you want the simulation to begin.

The downside is that any of the outputs that include a year instead of an age will be incorrect.

Yeah, I tried that, but couldn't wrap my head around the differences between real ages and future ages. Oh well, next year will be here soon enough. :)
