Heh: "Retirement End Year". Is that a synonym for "The Year You Die"? :)

  Yes, but if a euphemism causes people to stay at the site and do some financial planning, what's the harm? Ideally one would specify a probability distribution of death times.

  Maybe we'll really luck out, and it'll be the year you get your rejuvenation treatment and go back to work.

  Not necessarily. Some people only plan for a 20 year retirement, some plan for a 30 year retirement, etc.

    And what do you think they're expecting to happen after the retirement?
    • 22c 5y ago
      I thought it was needless to say, but people don't immediately drop dead as soon as their planned retirement period expires. They either have to re-budget or go on things like a pension etc.

  It even says so: "Retirement End Year - Time to get real grim here… this is when you’re expecting to not need your retirement fund anymore. Put in a different way, it is when you expect to die. There are a number of factors that play into this, but I would suggest looking at the Social Security Administrations chart here. As of the date that I wrote this post, I am a 39 year old female, and that chart tells me that on average I can expect to live 43.41 more years. So, I personally would set the Retirement End Year to 2072 (2021 + 43.41 = 2062.41 + 10 years of padding just to be sure)." -- https://www.cfiresim.com/tutorials/ https://www.cfiresim.com/tutorials/
