Frequently asked questions

Is this an inflation-adjusted forecast?expand_more

No. The first release is a transparent scenario planner in today’s dollars. Increase future-cost inputs yourself or revisit the plan annually.

Are the child, wedding and renovation defaults official?expand_more

No. They are editable examples, not official averages. Use quotes and the site’s specialist calculators to replace them with figures appropriate to your family.

Why include retirement with earlier milestones?expand_more

Because the same household cash flow funds all of them. A home, car or wedding that looks affordable alone may crowd out retirement when everything is viewed together.

Does CPF count toward current savings?expand_more

Only if you enter it. Consider keeping restricted CPF balances separate from liquid cash when assessing near-term goals.
