You are 35 years old today and are considering your retirement needs. you expect to retire at age 65, and your Actuarial Table suggests that you will leave to be 100. you want to move to the Bahamas when you retire. you estimate that it will cost you $300,000 to make the move ( on your 65th birthday) and that you're leaving expenses will be $30,000 a year ( starting at the end of the year 66 and continue through the end of the year 100) after that. How much will you need to have saved by your retirement day to be able to afford this course of action? you already have $50,000 in savings. if you can invest money, tax-free, at 8% a year, how much will you need to save each year for the next 30 Years to be able to afford this retirement plan? if you did not have any current savings and do not expect to be able to start saving money for the next 5 years, how much will you have to set aside each year after that to be able to afford this retirement plan?

Let's assume you are 50 years old. During the course of your life time you have managed to save up EUR 300,000. A good friend of yours has told you about the concept of perpetuities and believes that if you wanted to, you could choose to invest all of your savings in the stock market and earn enough from dividends to retire today and never run out of money regardless of how old you get. Please answer the following questions 1. To evaluate if what your friend is saying is true, what information do you need to get? 2. With the information collected in step 1, do you think your friend is correct? 3. Do you see any risks in this way of thinking?

You are 35 years old, and decide to save $$\$ 5000$$ each year (with the first deposit one year from now), in an account paying $8 \%$ interest per year. You will make your last deposit 30 years from now when you retire at age 65 . During retirement, you plan to withdraw funds from the account at the end of each year (so your first withdrawal is at age 66). What constant amount will you be able to withdraw each year if you want the funds to last until you are 90?
