We use a default inflation rate of 2.54% to ensure your financial plan remains realistic over time, while medical inflation is set at a higher rate of 3.36% due to rising healthcare costs. Additionally, I discuss how Social Security benefits are adjusted to keep pace with inflation and how housing appreciation is modeled using the Case-Shiller Index. Understanding these assumptions is crucial for building trust in your financial plan. I encourage you to explore these customizable options to align them with your unique financial goals.
