You plan to be a doting parent for your three adorable tots (you love to plan ahead). You plan to set up a fund to pay for their law school educations immediatley after their undergraduate studies. The fund will be set up to pay each little one $175,000 for the first year of school, then increase 4% per year through graduation. Assume the kids graduate after 3 years of law school. The oldest tot begins law school in 18 years; the second one starts two years later, and the last little one starts one year after the second. You have set aside $75,000 thus far. You earn 8% on your investments. Next year's salary is expected to be $220,000. What fraction of your salary must you set aside if you get raises of 2% per year to make your vision a reality? You start your savings based on income one year from now and you make your last payment on the first child's first day at law school.
