If your client is many years from retirement, you'll probably
solve for the Initial Investment needed at the
start of retirement based on desired Monthly Income and their projected pension and Social Security income.
Closer to retirement, you may want to approach the problem by first solving for
the possible Monthly Income based on accumulated assets and known income sources.
(In this example, the planner is solving for the Investment Return required to meet the client's income
goal, in preparation for designing a portfolio.)
After the client retires, monitor their progress each year using their
actual investment balance, income, and rates of return. You could solve first
for Income Period and, if that falls short of the life expectancy, solve for Rate
of Return.
