Hi Tim, I had a few additional questions and would appreciate your help:
1. I currently have the program installed on my Mac desktop. Is there a way I can also install it on my iPad?
2. I have data entered on both the investment tab and also the cash infusions tab, but it doesn't combine and show the combined total in the savings chart. Seems to only bring in one or the other. Is there some setting I need to correct?
3. On the cash infusions tab, a have as one-time/one-year lump sum infusion entered. There works fine, but when I enter a "grow rate after start date" it doesn't take that entered figure (percentage) into account. However it does seem to respond / grow the lump sum at whatever rate that I enter on main screen. Would like your advice on how to ensure that all the various investments and differing growth rates are being applied properly.
Thanks -- Bill D.
Bill,
To answer your questions:
1. I currently have the program installed on my Mac desktop. Is there a way I can also install it on my iPad?
- No. We don't have a full ipad version yet. Just a lite edition.
2. I have data entered on both the investment tab and also the cash infusions tab, but it doesn't combine and show the combined total in the savings chart. Seems to only bring in one or the other. Is there some setting I need to correct?
- if the cash infusions are used in the year infused, then it is not added to investments. It would only be accumulated if not needed. On retirement income graph, do you see "white"? If so that is infusion money being used in that year.
3. On the cash infusions tab, a have as one-time/one-year lump sum infusion entered. There works fine, but when I enter a "grow rate after start date" it doesn't take that entered figure (percentage) into account. However it does seem to respond / grow the lump sum at whatever rate that I enter on main screen. Would like your advice on how to ensure that all the various investments and differing growth rates are being applied properly.
- growth rate after it starts is ONLY applicable if duration is greater than 1
- if you use duration = 1, then it is a one-time lumpsum dumped into the investment bucket you specify... and yes then it grows at blended rate of that bucket
- if duration > 1, then infusion is injected multiple years and the growth rate will increase the amount injected each year
Does this help?
