Non-Computer, Pencil & Paper Planning

Pencil and Paper Retirement Planning is meant for people who would prefer to sit at a table with a hand calculator and do planning the old-fashioned way--with pencil and paper.

These pencil and paper planning methods are actually more comprehensive than most internet planning programs and, unlike them, have notes which help the user input the kind of values that lead to meaningful results.  Also, unlike the computer programs, when you update the plan next year, you can see on a side-by-side basis what your planning values were in previous years.  This can be very enlightening.
