This projection assumes a steady return every year — real markets vary, and the order of good and bad years matters. Social Security is treated as starting at your retirement age, and taxes are not modelled. The inflation rate is used only to restate the nest egg in today's money; contributions and withdrawals themselves are not inflation-indexed. Treat the verdict as a planning guide and consult a qualified advisor before an important decision.
