After graduation, you plan to work for 15 years and then visit Australia. You expect to save $2,000 a year for the first 5 years and $3,000 annually for the next 10 years. These savings cash flows will start in one year. In addition, your family has just given you a $6,000 graduation gift. If your gift and all future contributions are put into an account that pays 12% compounded annually, what will your financial "stake" be when you leave for Australia 15 years from now?

How would this get plugged into excel?
