Is this mathematically correct?
def inflation():
start = int(str.strip(raw_input("How much money do you need each
month at the start of retirement: ")))
inflation = float(str.strip(raw_input("What will inflation average
over the next 30 years(.03, .04, etc): ")))
for x in xrange(30):
start = start*inflation+start
print start
inflation()
