Your grandfather urged you to begin a habit of saving money early in your life. He suggested
that you put $5 a day into an envelope. If you follow his advice, at the end of the year you
will have $1,825 (365 × $5). Your grandfather further suggested that you take that money
at the end of the year and invest it in an online brokerage mutual fund account that has an
annual expected return of 8%.
You are 18 years old. If you start following your grandfather’s advice today, and continue
saving in this way the rest of your life, how much do you expect to have in the brokerage
account when you are 65 years old?
