[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]fwiw, I'm the Firecalc PP. I just ran Cfiresim again. Did Firecalc as well. Plus FA ran them for me yesterday on their massive system. I got the same #s from all three. The outcome on both Cfire and FireC you are putting basic categories in. With FA, he is using our actual accounts and how they have actually performed, in addition to the Monte Carlo on that data. I think these are great tools as long as everyone understands that so much is dependent on timing in terms of when you retire--into what kind of a market.[/quote] I think they’re great tools, too. I have an employment benefit (well, I pay imputed taxes on it) of a certain amount for financial planning every year. Some of the recommended planners seemed scammy, but I picked a reasonable one and had them run numbers. I got a report with so many numbers it makes my eyes glaze over, but once I got through it I realized they were basically running exactly the same kinds of simulations as these tools. Great to validate where I am, and I don’t need to go back to them.[/quote]
