It sounds like your basics are covered. It is good to see cash flow when inflation and market up/down is considered.

You are right. The problem is not the amount. The problem is that the calculator has a bug when the input is for a person in retirement (it was optimized for planning, before retirement). We will fix it and will let you know the new version. Thanks for trying it.
