<p>Your lifetime plan results will be accurate as long as your plan information is kept up to date. Therefore, you should review your plan:</p>
<ul>
<li><emph>Every 3 months.</emph> Even if nothing significant has happened in the last 3 months, it's a good idea to review your plan to make sure you're on track.</li>
<li><emph>When something happens that could affect your financial picture.</emph> For example, if an investment you hold skyrockets, your plan will reflect this change. You might consider taking some action.</li>
<li><emph>When you're contemplating a big financial decision.</emph> Add the event (such as adopting a child or taking a leave of absence from your job) to your lifetime plan, and then check the results to see the impact.</li>
