Dear Financial Adviser, My spouse and I are each 62 and hope to retire in three years. After retirement we will receive $7,600 per month after taxes from our employers' pension plans and $1,600 per month after taxes from Social Security. Unfortunately our monthly living expenses are 15,100. Our social obligations preclude further economies. We have $1,010,000 invested in a high-grade, tax-free municipal-bond mutual fund. The return on the fund is 4.0% per year. We plan to make annual withdrawals from the mutual fund to cover the difference between our pension and Social Security income and our living expenses. Sincerely, Luxury Challenged Marblehead, MA "ou can assume that the withdrawals (one per year) will sit in a checking account (no interest) until spent. The couple will use the account to cover the monthly shortfalls. How many years before Luxury Challenged runs out of money?

Suppose that your parents are willing to lend you $20,000 for part of the cost of your college education and living expenses. They want you to repay them the $20,000, without any interest, in a lump sum 15 years after you graduate, when they plan to retire and move. Meanwhile, you will be busy repaying federally guaranteed loans for the first 10 years after graduation. But you realize that you won’t be able to repay the lump sum without saving up. So you decide that you will put aside money in an interest-bearing account every month for the five years before the payment is due. You feel comfortable with putting aside $275 a month (the amount of the payment on your college loans, which will be paid off after 10 years). How high an annual nominal interest rate on savings do you need to accumulate the $20,000 in 60 months, if interest is compounded monthly? Enter into a spreadsheet the values d 5 275, r 5 0.05 (annual rate), and n 5 60, and the savings formula with r replaced by r/12 (the…

A professor has two daughters that he hopes will one day go to college. Currently, in-state students at the local University pay about $20,295.00 per year (all expenses included). Tuition will increase by 4.00% per year going forward. The professor's oldest daughter, Sam, will start college in 16 years, while his youngest daughter, Ellie, will begin in 18 years. The professor is saving for their college by putting money in a mutual fund that pays about 9.00% per year. Tuition payments are at the beginning of the year and college will take 4 years for each girl. (Sam's first tuition payment will be in exactly 16 years) The professor has no illusion that the state lottery funded scholarship will still be around for his girls, so how much does he need to deposit each year in this mutual fund to successfully put each daughter through college. (ASSUME that the money stays invested during college and the professor will make his last deposit in the account when Sam, the OLDEST daughter,…

The Ali plan to retire and start receiving their Social Security benefits at the same time, when Jimmy is 67 and Lucy is 62 years old. Their monthly Social Security retirement benefits at those ages in today's dollars are estimated to be $3,200 for Jimmy and $2,000 for Lucy. They think their expenses in retirement in today's dollars will be 70% of their total cash outflows now. Other than Social Security, they will rely on their retirement savings in order to meet their retirement expenses. They want to assume they will die in the same year, when Jimmy is 95 and Lucy is 90 years old.Determine what the payments will be in the distribution phase. These will be the withdrawals Jimmy and Lucy will need to take monthly from their accounts, in order to meet their retirement expenses. How much is that monthly amount?Note: this question is asking about the withdrawals they will need, not about the expenses they will be incurring monthly.
