Financial Impact
Personal Edition
2007
"The first time I used the program I almost fell off my chair because for the first time I
realized that I wasn't saving enough to reach my retirement age of 55."
- John Kiss - Software Engineer
"I thought I was doing everything to ensure I would be able to retire
at age 60 but it was clear after using Financial Impact that if I wanted to retire at this age
my income would be well below my standard of living."
- Danielle - Technical Editor

Each scenario is created by the user, one scenario may be to test if their on track to retire at age 55 and another maybe to see what their income will be like if they instead retire at age 65.
The red line located on the top graph shows the amount of savings, the blue line on the second graph indicates income and the green line indicates purchasing power. At the very bottom of the 2nd graph you can see "Age" which shows savings and income at each of the users age.
