Income planning

Connect cash payments to an actual calendar.

A payment schedule and an investment return are different things. These guides focus on the cash that arrives, the capital that remains, and the date the money might be needed. Explore bond payments, CD maturities, and fund distributions with those distinctions in mind.

The aim is to make planning assumptions visible, not to prescribe a portfolio. Record uncertain payouts and possible early exits alongside the expected cash flow, then revisit the record when the purpose of the money changes.
