Peter and Blair recently reviewed their future retirement income and expense projections. They hope to retire in

26

years and anticipate they will need funding for an additional

18

years. They determined that they would have a retirement income of

$67,000

in today's dollars, but they would actually need

$91,689

in retirement income to meet all of their objectives. Calculate the total amount that Peter and Blair must save if they wish to completely fund their income shortfall, assuming a

2

percent inflation rate and a return of

9

percent.
