The retirement income is adjust for inflation. All contributions and withdrawals are specified in today's dollars.

Internally, I model this be decreasing the Savings each time step to compensate for inflation.

I think this is the wrong way to do it. I think you should probably increase spending. Decreasing savings reduces the income earned on compound interest, whereas spending has no effect.

Cool project though.
