    Don't forget too:

    1) does it calculate all your capital will be gone when you are (gone, I mean);

    2) if trying to keep in 'today's dollars', dont forget to wind down the rate of return a bit as part of this is always natural CPi increase eg 3% pa

    I think just save what yo can or want to, have a good time along the way, invest for growth to have time work for you and keep an eye on any 'bubbles' along the way (which isn't always easy!). Most people I think tend to retire with more than they are prepared to spend and die leaving it for the kids. Which is fine if you want to do that for 'em.

    Good luck
