Question:
17.2 Assume that an individual expects to work for 40 years and then retire with a life expectancy of an additional 20 years.

What (constant) fraction of income must the individual save in each working year to be able to finance a level of retirement income equal to 60 percent of earnings in the year just prior to retirement?
