Finely tuned planning concept over decades

PlanMode is a projected reality based software. It can help you determine your future needs before you analyze your options and alternative courses of actions. This app can address your planning needs requiring simple analysis such as the bottom line difference between buying a car vs leasing it to more complex items requiring the determination of the extent of your needs for life insurance for your family or comparison of your retirement plan options and more. PlanMode gives a touch of reality to the future projections by deploying a cash management feature. Once activated the automated cash management monitors your cashflow based on your defined needs for how much of idle cash is needed at all times. If years your income exceeds the expenses it reinvests a calculated amount based on your parameters so that you are left with close to your cash limits after taxes. Similarly, in the years your expenses exceed income, it starts to draw down on the invested cash to keep your balances as per your data entry. Another helpful feature is the automated comparison feature. This feature can provide you with the bottom line impact of one or more financial transactions on any of your financial scenarios. The comparison showing a net gain or loss is produced after automatically rerunning the scenario for its income, cashflow and tax implications over the entire planning span
