First, he would like to be able to retire 30 years from now with a retirement income of $28,000 per month for 20 years, with the first payment received 30 years and 1 month from now. Second, he would like to purchase a cabin in Rivendell in 10 years at an estimated cost of $384,000. Third, after he passes on at the end of the 20 years of withdrawals, he would like to leave an inheritance of $850,000 to his nephew Frodo. He can afford to save $2,400 per month for the next 10 years.
