Regardless of your net worth or stage of life, creating a written financial plan is a crucial step in achieving long-term financial security. Every respected source
on financial planning best practices will tell you this. Yet, ~80% of households have no such plan. Not only is it easier said than done to properly account for
decades of financial variables on your own, but it's also virtually impossible to find a financial planning tool thorough enough to do it with reasonable accuracy.
That's why The Complete Retirement Planner (TCRP) was created.

TCRP allows anyone to easily create an individualized, comprehensive financial plan for both pre- and post-retirement. Based on the same financial planning
principles used by professional advisers, it accounts for important variables that other planning tools ignore. The result is a detailed year by year roadmap of
your financial future, eliminating the need to rely on guesses, assumptions, or generic benchmarks to determine a reasonable retirement age, how much to
save for retirement, or what your savings withdrawal rate should be. TCRP solves these riddles for you so that you can plan for retirement with confidence.

TCRP asks the essential questions needed to generate a precise, year by year forecast of your actual need - including both expenses and taxes.
Relying only on your personal information (not generic assumptions), it provides the most individualized and accurate results possible.
Considerable flexibility allows you to model what-if scenarios, plan for one-time events, and make all desired adjustments quickly and easily.

All expenses can be itemized and adjusted for different time frames to help model future changes, with the resulting annual totals listed year by year.
Multiple income sources, 401k/IRA contributions and investment return rates, employer contributions, and HSA contributions can all be
entered by spouse, by year. Social Security income, HSA balances and distributions, non-retirement and retirement savings balances and
distributions are also calculated by spouse, by year. Federal tax deductions and Federal/State tax liability are shown in total, by year.

The result is a detailed and eye-opening picture of your financial future showing how much you will be able to save before retirement,
how your savings and income compare to your actual need, and how long your savings will ultimately last during retirement.

It's important to note that all of your information remains completely within your control. TCRP is a digital download that you save to your computer so that
only you have access to it. For ease of use, it operates using Microsoft Excel, for either PCs or Macs. Please note - a full version of Excel (2016 or later) is required.
TCRP will not work with iPads, free online versions of Excel, or other Excel "apps" (e.g., Numbers, Google Sheets) as they do not support all necessary Excel functions.
TCRP is updated annually (in January) with any tax law changes and feature improvements, and existing customers may purchase updated versions for only $12.99.

TCRP is a unique retirement planning tool that incorporates technical and educational features that simply won't be found elsewhere.
• Interview style questions, with explanatory notes, easily guide you through the set-up, providing an unparalleled ease of use.
• Clear educational notes on complex topics (e.g., Medicare costs, tax laws, Social Security benefits) help to inform you.
• Flexibility in entering variable income, expenses, investment returns, savings, and one time events allows for individual needs.
• Critical variables that are often ignored by other planning tools, but have a big impact on results, are accounted for (listed below).
• A high level of clarity and detail in the results provides transparency into how it all works from start to finish, making it truly "complete".

These are the combined features that set TCRP apart from all other retirement planning tools:
• Entries by spouse (if married) for: multiple sources of annual income (e.g., wages, pensions, non-taxable), non-retirement cash/investment savings balances
and expected interest/return rates for before and after retirement, retirement savings balances/contributions/annual return rates, HSA balances/contributions,
desired retirement age and Social Security claiming age. Entering this information by spouse provides a great deal of flexibility and is essential for accuracy!

• The ability to itemize current and future expenses, and how those amounts may change over different time frames. This determines actual need, by year.
For greater accuracy, fixed expenses (e.g., mortgage principal, auto loans) are not inflation adjusted! This detail is significant.

• If you own a home (or two), annual tax deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes are calculated automatically. Specify if either mortgage will be
paid off early, or either house sold, to automatically adjust your total expenses and tax deductions from that year forward. If desired, use the net proceeds
from a home sale to help pay future expenses. Mortgage and real estate tax information for future home purchases may also be entered.

• Easily model Sequence of Returns Risk for retirement savings by entering varying investment return rates, by year, by spouse. Most planning tools default
to using the same rate of return for every year, which can easily produce unrealistic and misleading results.

• Social Security benefits, including spousal benefits (if married), survivor benefits (if desired), and annual Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA's) are calculated
automatically for each year starting with your chosen claiming age(s). Enter different claiming ages, by spouse, to instantly see the long-term impact on your
total retirement results, and to optimize your Social Security income!

• To assist with understanding Social Security claiming options, there's a built in Social Security calculator. Educational notes provide an overview of common
benefit options, and the calculator quickly models monthly and lifetime benefit results, by spouse, by claiming age.

• If married, a life expectancy age may be entered for either spouse, with the surviving spouse's Social Security income and Federal tax filing status
automatically recalculating as of that age. It is important to be aware of the impact these changes may have on the surviving spouse's long-term results.

•  Federal taxes on income, taxable distributions, and Social Security (different tax laws) are calculated by year rather than using a single rate for all years/income types.
An effective rate for State income tax may also be entered, along with tax deductions for mortgage interest, real estate taxes, State income/sales tax, charity,
and medical costs, completing the picture of total tax liability. This is crucial, as taxes can have a significant impact on how long your savings may last.

• Help with estimating health care costs in retirement, including an automatic alert if you may be affected by IRMAA (possibly causing higher Medicare costs).

• The ability to enter a General inflation rate, and a separate Health Care inflation rate. The General rate applies to most expenses, but not to fixed expenses
(e.g., mortgage principal/interest, auto loans) to prevent artificially inflating those expenses. The Health Care rate applies to designated health care expenses
that historically experience higher inflation than core expenses. No other planning tool does this, and it has a huge effect on results.

• Required Minimum Distributions (RMD's) from retirement savings are calculated automatically, year by year, by spouse, using the I.R.S. divisor schedule.

• In any year that net income is greater than expenses 25% of the excess is saved and applied to future expenses. If desired, this % may be increased to 85%
to help regulate any potential "lost" income. In any year that RMD's are greater than actual need, 85% of the excess is saved and applied to future expenses.

• Distributions from retirement savings are specified by spouse, and are based on actual need. Each spouse may specify the age to start distributions
(between ages 55 and the start of RMD's) to help with early retirement or to delay distributions and taxes by using only non-retirement savings during those years.
Distributions account for any expenses not paid by income, as well as the tax liability on the distribution. This is an essential point that other planning tools ignore.

• Roth Conversions can easily be entered for either spouse, by year, with the tax liability automatically accounted for.

• Qualified Charitable Donations (QCD's) may be entered, by year, by spouse, directly reducing RMD distributions as well as their corresponding tax liability.

• Order Of Funds Used - Expenses are paid from income first, then from a proportional mix of available non-retirement savings and Traditional 401k/IRA's, and,
finally, from Roth 401k/IRA's. Cash equal to 2 years future expenses (minus income for those years) is held in reserve to help maintain liquidity, reduce RMD's and
their tax liability, and allow Roth IRA's more time to grow. Savings last longer and tax liability is less than if only one fund type was exhausted at a time.

• The ability to enter expected/unexpected one-time events (additions or subtractions) that significantly impact retirement savings. Positive amounts may be
assigned to either spouse's non-retirement cash or investment savings to take advantage of their respective interest or investment return rates.

• Results for each spouse are shown, by year, for: taxable income, non-taxable income, Social Security income, non-retirement savings balance/distributions,
401k/IRA savings balance/contributions/distributions/investment return rates, Roth 401k/IRA savings balance/contributions/distributions, and HSA balance/contributions.

• Total combined results (single or married) are shown, by year, for: gross taxable income, Federal/State tax liability, Federal tax deductions, income available to
pay expenses, total expenses, non-retirement savings balance and distributions, retirement savings balance and distributions, 401k/IRA distribution % of total savings,
and HSA balance and distributions.
