Hii! I watched your YouTube video outlining how to set up the SWR toolbox this afternoon. Thanks for the simple yet thorough explanation of the tool. As a firecalc/ cfiresim user, it took me a while to get my bearings, but after using the toolbox I do find that Erin’s philosophy and approach to determining SCR, and the level of granularity of the tool gives me a lot more confidence in my plan. One question I have after listening to this episode is how exactly are you using the toolbox to provide you with a monthly scr? Are you adjusting the date and portfolio balance each month in the tool to generate a new scr? Sorry if this is a topic you may have covered in a different episode but I’m really curious to learn more detail about the mechanics of how you are using the toolbox. Thanks again, Dan
