in this post http://www.financialwisdomforum.org/for ... 0&t=118755 ("retirement, take leave as cash or time?"),
I used a discount factor it to adjust future cashflow for a pension benefit to present value.
I noted "I believe(???) the correct discount rate to use is the expected long term average nominal return of a typical retirement portfolio, which we have been assuming to be 5% (3% real return + 2% inflation)."
I've never actually felt confident of what number to use for the discount rate. Am I thinking about it correctly? Is this a reasonable number?
thanks for any comments
discount rate... am I doing it right?
