<content>
<p>To the Lifetime Planner, your lifetime plan is at its end when you (and your partner, if you have one) have died. Obviously, you don't know when that will be, but on the <emph>About You</emph> page, you tell Money what age you expect to live to. Money then figures out what year you'll reach that age and bases all of its forecasts on the span from now until that year.</p>
<p>"End of plan" does not mean the year you retire because even after you retire you'll have plenty of living to do, and that takes money. Also, you may still have some major goals you want to achieve, such as moving to a warmer climate and doing the traveling you wished you'd done earlier in life.</p>
