I posted a while back that I was looking at taking severance at big oil to retire early. I have a FP guy who has run 10 year cash flows, asset values, taxes, etc. I want to check his numbers. I could I guess go find another FP but can I do my own analysis? Can I generate my own yearly cash flows, asset values, etc.? I've used various on-line calculators: ORP, Fidelity, Flexible Planner, Firecalc, ***** and also tried Pralana's free version. I don't think any of these cover all the necessary tax calcs, SS calcs, etc etc. I used these just to see how close I could come to retiring.
So is there a very detailed software out there that I can buy that you guys feel confident in? I really want a "second opinion" on my FP's numbers.
I don't have any real unusual financial stuff to model. Just a lump sum pension, severance, SS at some point, college expenses.
Gotta run, but will check back later. Thanks
