Because their budget seems tight right now, theyhad been thinking that they would wait at least 10 years and then start investing $1800 per year to prepare for retirement. Tricia just told Tom, though, that she had heard that they would actually have more money the day they retire if they put $1800 per year away for the next 10 years - and then simply let that money sit for the next 35 years without any additional payments - than they would have if they waited 10 years to start investing for retirement and then made yearly payments for 35 years (as they originally planned to do).
PleAse help Tom and Tricia make an informed decision:
Assume that all payments are made at the end of a year, and that the rate of return on all yearly investments will be 7% annually.
13. How much money will Tom and Tricia have in 45 years if they do nothing for the next 10 years, then put $1800 per year away for the remaining 35 years?

15. How much money will Tom and Triciahave in 45 years if they put $2400 per year away for each of the next 45 years?
16. If Tom and Tricia wait 25 years (after the kids are raised!) before they put anything away for retirement, how much will they to put away each year for 20 years in order to have $500,000 saved up on the first day of their retirement 45 years from today?
