erratic results on unabled-enabled Additional Inputs

[ryazigi]

My program is producing erratic results when unabling or enabling entries on the page for Additional Inputs.
Unabling an expense is decreasing the End Portfolio Value rather than increasing it. Unabling an income decreases the End Portfolio Value minimally -not consistent with the magnitude of the amount in question-.
Any suggestions, please?
Thank you

The first thing I'd suggest is to review the year-by-year detailed results table to make sure the program is doing what you think it is. In that view, you can select the "show more detail" radio button on the top right of the disply. Further, if you right-click on any column header, you'll see an option to "show all columns" that might also be helpful for debugging this.

If you'd prefer, you could just send the .frp file to info@flexibleretirementplanner.com and I can take a look at it.

*VERY IMPORTANT: If you choose to email a .frp file, be sure to change the amounts/dates around so that no personally identifiable information is contained in the file before you send it.

Just as a possibly useful point:
remember to click run multiple times to see repeated Monte Carlo runs of your entered conditions. The (statistical) uncertainties in the Monte Carlo process will provide End Portfolio Values that jump around somewhat. They should be higher sometimes and sometimes lower if it's only statistics.

If, however, the changes you made ALWAYS end in lower End Portfolio Values, then the changes you made are indeed, clearly, real, pushing the values in the direction you note.

Just my 2￠worth.

Thank you both for your input.
