Flexible Retirement Planner Support Forum

Jim:

I have some expenses that I expect to rise at an increment over inflation. Does FRP provide any way to specify that?

Obviously I could just specify the COLA Percent figures manually for those expense lines. But if I want to play with different CPI numbers, then I also have to manually adjust all the expense lines for which I assume that costs will rise at CPI-plus.

Thanks.

Sorry, that's not a feature the planner supports.

It's not a bad idea and it wouldn't be tough to implement, but the challenge is that the 'COLA Type' interface is already a bit overwhelming to some folks.

I'd worry that adding more capability there would push the complexity past the tipping point.
