Bowie, age 52, has come to you for help in planning his retirement. He works for a bank, where he earns $60,000. Bowie would like to retire at age 62. He has consistently earned 8% on his investments and inflation has averaged 3%. He is expected to live until age 95 and he has a wage replacement ratio of 80%. Bowie wants to determine the amount of money necessary to provide him with the necessary capital balance at retirement. How much more of a capital balance would he need at retirement if he were to use the purchasing power preservation model instead of the straight annuity model assuming he has a zero balance today?
