FAQ: Do I Enter Future Expenses in Today's $s or Future $s?

Enter Expenses in Today’s Dollars, the platform will adjust for inflation for you.

This makes it much easier to compare spending between phases and ensure it’s appropriate. For example, we would expect something like Property Tax to remain relatively constant over time (other than inflation) whereas we might expect things like Travel or Entertainment or Child Expenses to go up and down between phases.

TIP: if you fill out the first spending “phase” you can use the three dot menu icon at the top of the “card” to copy all those entries into a new spending phase. Makes it easier when most categories won’t change much between phases.
