RetirementView - Ideas Forum

Welcome to our “Water Cooler Ideas” forum. Do you have an idea about how to improve the “RetirementView” program? Our program has evolved mostly through the suggestions and ideas from actual customers. We want to hear from you!

We will assess the ideas based on your ideas and votes, and then prioritize our schedule of enhancements around these ideas. BUT WE REFUSE TO MAKE THIS PROGRAMTOO COMPLICATED”. If it goes outside the “Keep it Simple” principle, you can forget it. If you want complicated, just buy someone elses program as we hear every day that they are “too complicated”.

  1. Add new Networth screen where you enter non-retirement investments and assets, as well as Liabilities. Can then show Networth. Even better, is to add a growth rate to both assets and the liabilities and project networth over time.

  2. AppUpdate component is unreliable for some reason. Replace it with a new system so that the updates and enhancements can be pulled seemlessly from the internet.

    This features has been added but requires some programming to make sure it works correctly. Contact Torrid Tech support if you would like a custom logo on your Detailed Report printouts.

  4. User age 70 need to be concerned with Required Mininum Distributions. It would be nice to have a RMD printed report rather than go searching for this data from the spreadsheet.

    This was added a long time ago. Frankly it is quicker to look at the spreadsheet than to do all the clicks to print the report.

    If you go to Print Detailed Report there is a check box to print the RMDs on their own page.

  5. Add traditional File New, Open, Save for the consumer editions.

  6. Option would allow for "what if" scenario if a user wants to change fields then exit out of the program without savings this data. Current EXIT will automatically save data now.

  7. Add ability to show negative returns on investments. Reason: I am retired and I am withdrawing from my IRA at a 4% rate. With stock market volatility I would like to model a declining balance on my investment. Right now, I have to assume an annual increase (return) of 4% to model this. I am using 0% return but am concerned that this is not enough and would like to see a negative return option.

  8. If one spouse has retired and is collecting Social Security and the other continues to work for several years it's possible there may excess funds available. This excess amount should be shown so they could be redirected into an investment.

  10. PRO - I would like to be able to use negative rates of growth, both for assets, and income streams. In long term retirement plans, when you are using high income products, over time both the principal and the income may be going down slowly.
    And many current annuities have a value that is decreasing.

  11. I have had to reach out about this and the answer did not agree with the way the program functions. I have noticed that for the calculation be correct I had to place the same values in the quick calc & the detailed; and no, this the software is not double calculating the initial value.

    You choose one way or the other. If you choose to enter the detailed Investments, then those numbers OVERWRITE the ones on the front screen. It has always been this way.

    Idea is that if you want to do quick thumbnail numbers you can do that at bottom. But if there are more than 2 or 3 accounts you can use Investments to enter each one without getting confused.

  12. I'll offer an suggestion and you may tell me that I can already do it. After I have entered all information for a plan for myself and my wife I then try a number of variations based on life longevity for each of us. To do it means altering much of the basic input data;(income, insurance, loans etc.) then look at the results and then go on to another assumption. If each of these assumptions could be saved for later viewing, it would save a lot of data alteration and entry.
