Decision
#2: Planning for Retirement
Tom and Tricia are 22,
newly married, and ready to embark on the journey of life. They
both plan to retire 45 years from today. Because their budget seems tight
right now, they had been thinking that they would wait at least 10 years and
then start investing $2400 per year to prepare for retirement.
Tricia just told Tom, though, that she had heard that they would actually
have more money the day they retire if they put $2400 per year away for the
next 10 years – and then simply let that money sit for the next 35 years
without any additional payments – than they would have if they waited 10 years
to start investing for retirement and then made yearly payments for 35 years
(as they originally planned to do).
Please help Tom and
Tricia make an informed decision:
Assume that all
payments are made at the end of a year, and that the rate of return on all
yearly investments will be 8% annually.
1.
How much money will Tom and Tricia have in 45 years if they do
nothing for the next 10 years, then puts $2400 per year away for the remaining
35 years?

before they put anything away for retirement, how much will they to put away
each year for 20 years in order to have $925,000 saved up on the first day of
their retirement 45 years from today?
