Where do I change assumed ages at death?

Where to find it: LIFE EVENTS → Edit; TIME MACHINE → Additional information

Edit the death events in LIFE EVENTS. The assumed age is also available in the TIME MACHINE additional-information form. Enter the assumptions for both spouses when applicable and review entries linked to the first or last death.

TIME MACHINE models death at the end of the selected year. For a couple, the projection continues to the later death, with survivor income and ownership changes as applicable. You can compare different lifespan assumptions by saving each result.

If a saved assumed death year is already in the past, the live scenario automatically extends it to next year and displays a warning asking you to review it. A death in the current year is permitted. The optimizer requires at least one included person to live beyond the current year, even though an ordinary TIME MACHINE run can still be made.
