Interpretation of results -- "Planned Expenses"
Posted: Sun Feb 27, 2011 5:05 pm
First, thank you for a very useful, straightforward, and impressive tool I've been looking for something like this for a while. Do keep me on the mailing list, please. I'm interested in the way the tool will develop.
I've worked with the FRP several times. I'm not quite sure I understand the results as printed on the right side of the Summary of Results screen. I've entered a figure for annual retirement spending; I've set the goal seeking to "maximum annual withdrawal amount".
What I see is a figure for "Planned Expenses" that simply does not match what I've put in for planned expenses on the Additional Inputs screen. I have no idea where it's building this figure. Can you help point me at where it comes from?
Would the "planned expenses" figure be what the tool works out for the "maximum annual withdrawal"?
Thank you.
Greg
