You are

29

years old and decide to start saving for your retirement. You plan to save

$5,500

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

6%

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

32

to start saving (again, with your first deposit at the end of the year)?
