Your plan is the sum of your decisions, all laid out in one place

College for four years from 54. The car replaced at 56, with a loan. You retire at 60, your spouse at 62. At 65 the house is sold, the equity goes to the brokerage, and a smaller home is bought outright. Each of you claims Social Security at 67. That is the couple's whole plan, in age order, and each decision can be edited, switched off to see the plan without it, or removed.
