Historically, Keon has earned a 9% annual return on his investments, but he realizes that he can't expect the same results with full-time employment or entrepreneurship. He hopes to earn 5.50% a year going forward, should he decide to leave $70,000 invested in a relatively safe investment portfolio.

She has been considering selling the vehicle as is and upgrading to an oversized luxury When Keen asked if she had an
