Thank You

After the launch of the retirement budget calculator dashboard last week we had a really tremendous response and I just wanted to take a minute a highlight a few of your comments.

After the launch of the retirement budget calculator dashboard last week we had a really tremendous response and I just wanted to take a minute a highlight a few of your comments. We sure do appreciate the RBC Nerds and our community of customers for all your support, ideas & encouragement. Thank you!

"You've hit it out of the park, Home Run! This really pulls it all together. Great update! This is GREAT!
You and your team should be very proud of your work. I’ve already been changing the Future View projections to see how my Safe Withdraw Rate changes.  This makes budgeting a little more fun."
- Shane

"While this was a great tool in its previous form, you’ve improved it by leaps and bounds. The dashboard provides an easily consumable snapshot of pretty much one’s entire retirement picture. And providing links to the details allows us to see the numbers behind the graphics. Thank you for this major update." - Melvin

"I really like the new RBC enhancement with the Dashboard. One stop shopping is very useful. Your continued enhancement to this product has made this my go to budgeting, planning and retirement tool." - Todd

"First let me say what a great tool this is. I only recently purchased the subscription but have already begun to appreciate the value it brings. The recent Dashboard upgrade is incredibly useful and shows a real maturity in the calculator's development. Love the podcast and there is most definitely no other calculator out there that comes close to doing what yours does." - Stuart

"Jason - love the podcast and retirement budget calculator! The updates continue to enhance the product." - George
