740.0. "Planning Programs?" by SNAX::WAGER (Assumption-the mother of all screw-ups) Thu Jul 07 1994 04:12

     I was recently thinking about retirement and planning for the 
future. I was wondering if anyone can point me to an program that 
could tell me if I invest X amount for x years I will be able to take 
out Y dollars for 30 years. 

Ex) If you invest 200 a month @10% per year in 36 years you can take 
    out 1000 dollars a year for the rest of you life.

     Also if it has something like an inflation variable built in, to 
put the number in perspective of 2030 dollars to today's dollars if say 
inflation was 5% a year or what ever number I felt like putting in.

Thanks,

 Vern

P.S. I just recently bought quicken so I will be fooling around with 
     he investment planning part. So far I'm just using it for paying 
     bills and tracking expenses. Is there a way to do that in there?

    Managing Your Money offers this; I'd be surprised if Quicken didn't...

    Quicken does it too.
