Savings + distribution (two-phase)

What this is

Two-phase projection: accumulate for X years, then withdraw monthly for Y years.

Accumulation phase: contributions + growth. Decumulation phase: fixed monthly draw at a lower expected return (you usually de-risk into retirement). Output: peak nest egg + how long it lasts.

Use accumulation return ~6-8% (equity-heavy) and distribution return ~3-5% (balanced or bond-heavy). De-risk the closer you get to retirement.
