do i enter everything in todays dolloars?

[bulbar]

even the things i enter using additional inputs? like buying a car in 2028 - do I input that in todays dollars? social security income when I'm 62 - do I enter the number the ss administration gave me, or do I inflate it first? thnx

In general, all dollar amounts entered into the planner should be entered in today's value dollars. So if you plan to buy a car in 2028, entering the amount that the car would cost today as an outflow that happens in 2028 makes sense.
