I'm trying to model a client paying for private disability insurance only until retirement. But in the "last year" field in misc expenses, it's forcing me to specify a date. It would nice if this date field (and likely others) could accept the retirement date variable R.
And now that I think about it, it would kinda be amazing if one could create additional variables? For example, many clients might work part time for a few years after leaving main employment. I can specify the retirement date (which gets assigned the r variable) but would be nice to specify "date that part time work ceases" with a "p" or whatever. Because there is usually a different set of expenses/income which comes from the part time work. Currently in the various scenarios I have to search for those items and update the end date to correspond to the end of part time work (if that's one of the changes between scenarios).
@stkeros Good idea. I suggested a variable for longevity age yesterday ("L"?) that would be useful for things like start of LTC (i.e. L-3). Slowly, we're turning this back into a spreadsheet haha.
@stkeros We actually have this concept on our candidate enhancement list but could not really identify any particular examples of why anyone would want it. You've now done that, so thanks! We'll keep it on the list.
