Working edition 0.3, November 3, 2026: 17 pages in US Letter and A4, with seven reusable worksheets and four practice exercises with explained answers.
Explore annual checkpoints, cumulative timing, purchasing-power conversions and missing inputs. Three connected fictional practice pages separate a corrected spending base from a changed rate assumption, then handle a one-time item and unresolved costs. New worksheet RET-07 preserves the original run and the evidence behind each comparison. Download a print-and-write PDF or editable Word copy using current DTP print branding. Keep completed records private.
