Good day.  I'm new to the APP.  I was searching for RRSP Meltdown options.  How would I set up a RRSP Meltdown using this APP?  Also, do I use Life Events to adjust spending for Go-GO, SLOW-Go and NO-GO?  Thanks in advance.

You can force withdrawals from your RRSP by entering an AUTOMATIC Withdrawal entry for the account.
That might not be necessary if you've set the RRSP as a top Withdrawal PRIORITY. In that case, if you need money, the TIME MACHINE will take it from there.
You can also try the Withdrawal Optimizer to find an optimal withdrawal strategy for you.

You can add your own LIFE EVENTS, so just add Go-GO, SLOW-Go and NO-GO entries, with the date/age you want each to start. Then you can add/edit EXPENSES with their own amount, and link each of their start and end dates to those life events. This is meant specifically for expenses (and other entries like incomes and automatic savings) you want to specifically link to those dates.
If you want to smoothly adjust  your expenses over time, you can also play with how they are indexed to inflation. See this previous discussion.
