First, he would like to be able to retire after 30 years from now with retirement income of $15,000 per month for 25 years, with the first payment received 30 years and 1 month from now. Second, he would like to purchase a cabin in Rapid City in 10 years at an estimated cost of $380,000. Third, after he passes on at the end of the 25 years of withdrawals, he would like to leave an inheritance of $1.2 million to his nephew Paulie. He can afford to save $2,150 per month for the next 10 years. If he can earn an EAR of 10 percent before he retires and an EAR of 7 percent after he retires, how much will he have to save each month in Years 11 through 30? [Hint: Making a timeline is always a useful first step.]
