He wants to put away the same amount of money every birthday (starting today) up to and including his 65th birthday. He then wants to be able to withdraw $100,000 every birthday (starting with his 66th) up to and including his 85th birthday. He believes he can earn an average annual return of 9.5% by investing in higher risk investments over the next ten years, but will put it in a lower risk portfolio on retirement – which he thinks will earn 8%
