You are 23 years old and decide to start saving for your retirement. You plan to save $ 6,500 at the end of each year (so the first deposit will be one year from now), and will make the last deposit when you retire at age 69. Suppose you earn 12% per year on your retirement savings.

a. How much will you have saved for retirement?

b. How much will you have saved if you wait until age 40 to start saving (again, with your first deposit at the end of the year)?
