Hi Jon; bumpsize 100000 # minimum savings (threshold) to bump level 1 -> 2 bumpdays 1 # minimum days at each level bumpmult 1.25 # threshold = bumpsize * bumpmult^(level-1) I've never fully analyzed that to see what it really does, so those figures, which haven't changed in at least a decade, originally came from a SWAG. Point being that anytime I see a planner line that says its to days-1, it always does a level 0 on that DLE. Most are small enough to be a never mind when the average total is north of 20G's anyway.
