Anyone know some good financial planning software? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I use Naviplan.  They are considered to be top of the line.  Note that you still need to check all the assumptions and calculations as their tax calculations occasionally have mis-coding.  The best thing about NaviPlan is their customer service.  They were very patient whenever I challenged their results.  On one plan last year, I spent 10 hrs on the phone with their coding department to drill down on a mistake that I caught. 

Monte Carlo is not the be all end all as you have to understand the assumptions behind the coding and whether it matches the customer's circumstances. 

The cost on Naviplan stripped down is about minimum $5,000/year up front.  They just got bought and I'm not sure what the current pricing will be.  I am on their download version until I renew at tax season. 

We use Quicken and really like it. It is very versatile and lets you keep track of everything.

I was going to say just that. My Fidelity account comes with a great tool to calculate retirement need and college education need. Even Merill Lynch has one.

Nothing like you have to crack the code to understand situation, you can enter your own situation.
