Question:
2. 8.35 A young couple planning ahead for their retirement has decided that $2,600,000 is the amount they will need to retire comfortably 20 years from now. For the past 5 years, they have been able to invest one of their salaries ($50,000 per year, which includes employer contributions) while living off the other one. They plan to start a family sometime in the next 10 years, and when they have done so, one of the parents will quit working, causing the savings to decrease to $15,000 per year thereafter. If they have gotten a rate of return of 10% per year on their investments, and expect to continue at this ROR, is reaching their goal of $2.6 million in 20 more years sensitive to when they have their first child (i.e., between now and 10 years from now)? Use an FW analysis starting now with one year increments thereafter.
