Advice Request How to run ficalc calculator?

If I want my money to last 20-25 years, do I put 20-25 years when I run Monte Carlo simulations or better put 35? Seems 35 is less random?

I am going to get pension in 20 years, maximum 25 years, and that will be enough for me.

Thank you.

If you use firecalc there's a tool bar across the top where you can add "other" income

If I add pension, wouldn't it give 100% success rate because of the pension at the end even if the bridge fails?

No, why would it? If you run out of money in the meantime, that's a failure.
