Neat, simplistic, and potentially dangerous. Read, learn, decide. And when I say read, I don't mean Money magazine. Here's a list of resources - http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f28/fire-recommended-reading-list-22300.html
Here's a good article about calculators - http://www.early-retirement.org/for...ment-calculator-from-hell-articles-32828.html

Bernstein points out the fallacy with average return calculators versus safe withdrawal rates. He would not have a problem with an asset allocation calculator that models/suggests asset mixes versus user defined events. In that regard the CNNMoney asset allocation calculator can be enlightening.
