Is there computer software out there where I can input my finances and objectives and get a some idea of how things might play out for me?
— Dick Goldberg
The two programs that I am aware of for the general public are the Qucken Financial Planning Program which is part of their Suite of programs and MS Money. Both of these programs are relatively inexpensive and are easy to use. There are many professional programs which can cost from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars.
There are many web sites run my mutual funds that will help you with some planning software. T.Rowe Price is one of them. Many funds have them especially for retirement planning. Mutual funds that offer 529 educational plans will often have planning software to calculate and estimate college costs in the future and how much you need to save to meet your goal.
