A Retirement Calculator in a Spreadsheet

[Gray Peachfuzz]

     I came across this post on Lifehacker by Melanie Pinola, who I suspect is a Mustachian based on her history. It's a Google spreadsheet accessible to all, originally posted on Forbes. From a quick glance, it lets you input various income amounts, savings rates and starting stash to see when you can retire. Being rather new to the community, I'd be interested to see if those more seasoned can check under the "assumption hood" to see if this is legit.

This is from the Dough Roller podcast by Rob Berger. Good episode imho.
