A friend wants to work for 2 years then return to school full time for a master’s degree. OPTION A: He can invest $1,000/month in a mutual fund that earns 6% annually, for 2 years. But he is thinking of waiting five years, and investing only $500/month for the whole five years (he wants to enjoy life - OPTION B), earning the same 6% per year.
