The Retirement Countdown calculator allows
you to enter your retirement goals and the assets
and income that you wish to assign to meet those
goals. You will be asked to provide some basic information
including whether you want all, some, or none of
your retirement assets to be preserved during your
retirement years. Each choice that you are asked
to make has a button to its side that will help
provide you with additional information. When you
are done the result will either meet your goal or
fall short of your goal. If you fall short of your
goal, the calculator will compute the lump sum deposit
or periodic savings that must be met to achieve
your goal based on the assumptions chosen.
Remember that these projections
are predicated on your input of goals and the assumptions
that you have chosen for the rate of inflation,
the rate of growth on your assets, and other key
information. Minor changes in any of these input
fields can have a significant impact on the results.
Good luck and remember what Henry Ford once said,
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see
when you take your eyes off your goal."
