retirement planner question

You are clear and I have never found a function like the one you are requesting. I'd like it too. I do have a printout from a projection several years ago, but I never think to look at it. It wold be nice to be able to save projections at various times and then compare them to the current situation.

Aren't those pretty much *your* "predictions", rather than Quicken's?

Anyway, as a workaround, perhaps you could try this. Choose a convenient interval that would permit you to make the comparisons you desire - say 1 year. Plan to make "extra" Quicken backups to a special "comparison" folder every "interval". When you make the backup, open it, and remove the Scheduled Transactions, and deactivate everything for downloading, including quotes. You could even put a password on all the existing transactions so they couldn't be modified.

Then when you wanted to do a comparison, you could open the appropriate "special" Quicken backup and note the plan values.

Yes they are but using Quicken as a tool .....

That is the work around I figured out for myself. I just wondered - since Quicken keeps the data on past transactions, etc - it would as a really nice feature if it also kept track of the projections it had calculated for me using "my" (or Quicken's default) assumptions. Apparently it does not. Maybe sometime in the future. Should not be a real hard feature to implement.

Thanks.

All the Quicken Planners seem to me to be quite old. They also look like they might have been purchased by Intuit ... meaning code not very amenable to change, something not uncommon to such an arrangement.

There have been quite a few suggestions about improvements to the planners here; hopefully you, and others, with the ideas, are posting the suggestions at Intuit's Quicken support site. The Quicken Planners might be overdue for rewrite,
