Reference no: EM13334016
Emily Dao, 27, just received a promotion at work that increased her annual salary to $37,000. She is eligible to participate in her employers' 401(k) plan to which the employer matches dollar-for-dollar workers contributions up to 5% of salary. However, Emily wants to buy a new $25,000 car in three years and she wants to have enough money to make a $7,000 down payment on the car and finance the balance.Fortunately, she expects a sizable bonus this year that she hopes will cover that down payment in three years.
Also in her plans is a wedding. Emily and her boyfriend, Paul, have set a wedding date two years in the future, after he finishes medical school. In addition, Emily and Paul want to buy a home of their own as soon as possible. This might be possible because at age 30, Emily will be eligible to access $50,000 trust fund left to her as an inhertance by her late grandfather. Her trust fund is invested in 7% government bonds.
