Suppose that you just turned 25, plan to retire at 65, and estimate that you will need $9,049 per month at the end of each month upon retirement for the next 30 years. How much do you need to contribute at the end of each month until you reach age 50? Assume your estimated return is 8.8% EAR, that you have $10,000 already invested, and the funds will continue to earn interest to age 65, even though you will not continue contributing after age 50.
