Square your model with your TurboTax results from last year. Make adjustments to reflect changes in the law for 2025 and beyond and for subsequent years, assume away. Have fun.
As you constantly make iterations, you will learn which factors make a difference and which do not. For me, far and away, it's inflation.
Never, ever make decisions based on what your spreadsheet alone tells you. Relish it when your model reasonably predicts this year and somewhat predicts the next, but anything beyond that are just numbers to give you a good or bad feeling about your financial future.
Stay the course.
