Is it possible for custom formulas to get out-of-date?

I would like to create a custom formula to calculate the # of days until an opportunity closes, any ideas?

Hi Jamie,
You can create a custom formula to calculate the # of days until an opportunity closes. In fact it's one of the examples given in a document on this website called "100 Ways to Use Formula Fields". Here's a link to the document:

Also, here is the example formula you're looking for from that document:
Days Left to Close:
Returns the number of days left to close
{!CloseDate} - TODAY()
