Question
At your age (assume 20) you can assume that you will live to be 100. If you graduate at 23 and start to work, you can expect to work for 47 years, until age 70. At that time you will be eligible for full Social Security benefits, which can reasonably be expected to be $3,000 per month, and which will be received monthly for the rest of your life. You can reasonably expect that your retirement savings will earn an average of 8 percent per year throughout the period that you accumulate your retirement funding and during your retirement years. Further assume that you will want to have an annual income of $120,000 throughout your retirement. Amount needed to have saved at retirement in order to be able to fund your retirement = $942,083.52
How you think those funds should be managed. That is, suggest a reasonable overall plan to achieve that goal.
Explanation / Answer
Time to work till retirement = 47 Years Money needed at the time of retirement= 942083.52 Rate of interest earned = 8% So money needed to be invested for another 47 years every year can be found by uning pmt formula on spreadsheet. Money invested every year = $2,080.11 So this is the money to be invested for 47 years so that $942083.52 can be accumulated.
