The Planning Session of MSMoney 2007 has a Financial Events Modeler which could
be useful, but I found it quite misleading.
One of the scenarios is "What if I pay off my mortgage at the end of this
year". Wow! I would have almost six times as much money at the end of my
plan. But when I looked more closely at the graph, it seemed as if the Modeler
assumes the funds required to pay off my mortgage come from the good fairy, and
not out of my current funds.
I don't mind having unsophisticated tools available, but when the tools are
misleading, that's dangerous in financial software.
But maybe I'm missing something?
