I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I was unable to find it.
DH and I have a 12 year age gap (he is older). When I plug our numbers into Firecalc, is it correct to use my expected years of retirement to test the viability of our assets? Or is that too conservative?
Right now, I'm using our combined annual expenses and combined retirement assets (we're about 60/40 for assets) with my life expectancy to run the calculator. Is that the best way to use the calculator?
Thanks for any input you might have.
