Frequently Asked Questions
Why is nominal return not enough?
Nominal return can overstate progress if inflation is reducing real purchasing power.
How often should inflation assumptions be reviewed?
At least annually and after major macro regime changes.
Can inflation alone break retirement plans?
Yes, especially when paired with weak early returns and fixed spending rules.
