Model maximizing estate instead of yearly spending #5

Another approach to this type of optimizer is to have the user list the desired spending level for each year and have the program maximize the estate left to heirs at the end of the plan.

The spending level would need to be low enough to be feasible, and it would need an assumed tax bracket for the heir. Then the total after estate taxes would be the result being maximized.
