QUESTION:
Hello,
Jeff is entering a client onto the Retirement Planner and his age is 60 1/2, so he is wanting to know how he can adjust that instead of putting 60. Please assist.
Thank you,
ANSWER:
Jeff,
You enter the client's birthdate and the retirement software program calculates their current age.
The RetirementView program then calculates their age as of "today" and then the next line of calculations on the spreadsheet and the next bar on the retirement income graph is "one year from today".
There is no way to enter their age directly or to put in a 1/2 year age.
When you see the year 2014 on the printout (print detailed report) or on the spreadsheet... it is not Jan 1 of 2014.... it is really today's date in that year... so if you run it today... May 1, 2013 then May 1, 2014 etc.
