Question $1$

You have just turned $25$ years old, had received your master$$s degree and enjoyed a one$-$year

break, and have recently accepted your first job. Now you must decide how much money to

put into your retirement plan.

The plan works as follows: Every dollar in the plan earns $8\%$ per year. You cannot make

withdrawals until you retire on your sixty$-$third birthday. After that point, you can make

withdrawals as you see fit. You decide that you will plan to live to $100$ and work until you

turn $63.$ You estimate that to live comfortably in retirement, you will need $$100,000$ per year,

starting at the end of the first year of retirement and ending on your one$-$hundredth birthday.

You will contribute the same amount to the plan at the end of every year that you work.

How much do you need to contribute each year to fund your retirement?
