FYI: Q. My question concerns the assumption most planners make that retirement spending increases about three percent a year, no matter how advanced the client's age. I don't see how that is possible. My mother-in-law is 96. She is doing pretty well---she’s a true sweetheart. Her spending is definitely not increasing at three percent a year. What do you think would be a good Couch Potato rule that might apply to, say, age 85 and above- if the good Lord allows one to have that type of longevity? ---H.S., Dallas, TX
