withdrawal (assume your savings will continue to earn

12.0%

in retirement)?d. If, instead, you decide to withdraw

$500,000

per year in retirement (again with the first withdrawal one year afterretiring), how many years will it take until you exhaust your savings? (Use trial-and-error, a financial calculator: solve for"N", or Excel: function NPER)e. Assuming the most you can afford to save is
