Comments From A VeriPlan User

"Anybody who wants a low cost family financial plan can get a great deal of value out of VeriPlan.

"Our financial affairs were scattered all over, and my family lacked a comprehensive picture of what the future might hold for us. I wanted a more coherent and integrated understanding of our projected income, expenses, taxes, debts, assets, college expenses, retirement assets, and everything else.

"VeriPlan has been a very flexible tool for projecting our lifetime financial affairs. It took me several hours on a weekend to understand what VeriPlan could do and to collect and enter our financial data.

"VeriPlan's graphics simply lay out what the future might hold for us. It is a fast, automated financial projection tool that allows me to change anything and to test alternate financial decisions very rapidly.

"Integrated with its functionality, VeriPlan's documentation clearly explains how it works. A wealth of objective, well-researched personal finance and investment management information is also included. Since VeriPlan fully documented, self-learning and user-changable, I like not having to pay for updates or a support contract."
