Why Inflation Matters for Goals
If a university degree costs $100,000 today, saving exactly $100,000 over 15 years will leave you severely underfunded. Prices rise. By syncing with live CPI data, this engine automatically inflates your target cost to ensure your monthly contributions are aggressive enough to meet the *future* price tag.
The Power of Compound Interest
The earlier you start, the less you pay. The Funding Composition chart above reveals your "Market Leverage"—how much of the goal is funded by your hard-earned cash versus how much is generated passively by market returns. Extending your time horizon dramatically increases the market's share of the heavy lifting.
