The "portfolio changes" tab allows for one-time expenditures. You could enter the entire cost of college ($80k) as a one-time expense during the Sophomore year to split the difference. Not a perfect solution but Firecalc is just a guide.A bit of an old thread, but I have a similar question regarding non-permanent spending. For example, I am trying to plan for college expenses (for example, $20K for 4 years). I realize that I can take care of this by using the example above (e.g. offset the spending by starting the "pension" income the year after the spending ends.).
However, there are only three such changes that I can make under this tab in Firecalc. Is there any way to add additional off chart spending and/or "pensions"? Thanks!
If you have made a donation and "unlocked" the manual spending changes you can simply increase your expenses in the years necessary and decrease after that as many times as you like.
Hmmm, are there different levels of donation? I did donate but do not see any difference in allowable inputs. Probably a function of me just missing, but I still do not see how to add more manual spending changes.
no different levels - you have to use the supporter login on the right side top of the page and then you can access the manual spending changes.
Boy, I thought I was (somewhat) computer literate. LOL But still having problems. Just to make sure - I should see this info in the "other income/spending" tab, correct?
