Software:  RETIREMENT QUICK-MONITOR  Ver. 1.01
Category:  Personal Finance, Retirement, Financial Planning



RETIREMENT QUICK-MONITOR calculates and displays the savings necessary for
you to retire at EVERY age between 30 and 90 for any interest and inflation
rate combination.

A unique tabulation lets you see the results for all ages at once, with the
lumpsum, annual and monthly savings required at every age.  It quickly
redisplays with changes.

RETIREMENT QUICK-MONITOR is a stand-alone program featuring brief work-
sheets, attractive screens, printouts, scrolling menus, and pop-up help. 
Although designed for easy personal forecasting, the speed and graphics make
it ideal for laptop use by financial planners in front of clients.

Many people don't realize until it's too late that their retirement assets
are not going to cover their retirement needs.  Lack of planning will
obviously lead to this problem -- also the unexpected effect of INTEREST and
INFLATION rate changes can destroy retirement plans.

This program, with its on-screen help, assists you in arriving at a 
successful estimation.  It is divided into two phases: a brief and easy
worksheet which helps you arrive at retirement Income, Expense, and Savings
estimates; and the automatic tabulation which in a continuous display shows
the earliest date you can retire with your present savings, and the amount
required to retire at every age to age 90.  All ages and amounts are on the
screen at once.  

Then, with a keystroke, the program quickly retabulates with your choice of 
a different combination of interest/inflation rates.  Also displayed for 
every year between your present age and age 90 is the lumpsum amount, the 
annual deposit, and the monthly savings deposit required to reach your 
retirement nestegg.

Although the program provides many elements of successful planning it is not
intended as a complete retirement planning program.  Its specialty is the
dramatic display of your retirement situation with varying interest and
inflation estimations.  Other features are provisions for early Social
Security at age 62, pensions with and without COLA, and all combinations of
interest and inflation rates.
