15. You are 30 years old but and planning to retire at age 62. You want to plan
my finances for living 35 years past age 62 and die dead broke. You
determine you will need $3000 per month year from age 62 on. Ignore
inflation. At age 62, you plan to go live in the tropics on the beach and live
on coconuts and fishing. You need to conclude your retirement savings at age
55 because all your spare money then will be going to your kids education.
The question is how much money do you need to save each month between
now and 55 so that you can quit contributing. The expected return on your
investments over the whole period is 10% per year.
