Cost of Children Factor

Under assumptions, cost of children you can specify the percentage for the child consumption up to age 19. If you lower the percentage at age 18 and assume the child is in the household until age 22, the lower consumption applies all the way through age 22. This is fine.

The problem I have is I want to have a child in the household until age 27 but not lower the consumption until age 22. This is not possible with the current setup.

I have more and more clients with children who graduate from college and are still somewhat dependent on their parents so I would like to factor in the additional costs by phasing out the child consumption.

The workaround is to add special expenses for a few years. This works but from a presentation perspective it would be nice to show a decrease in child consumption.

This is not a big issue but it would be a nice option.
