Case summary:
There were times when a person gets a decent job, he sticks to that job and all his worries about retirement planning flies away because he gets regular pension from his employer and the funds accumulated by him in the social security schemes on a regular basis. The payments he receives in the form of pension are enough for him to live his post-retirement life comfortably.

Currently, M has started saving for his future and is investing a sum of $300 at 9% interest rate until the age of 65 but T has not started it yet and has reached the age of 35. She started to save for his future requirement and her net savings until her age of 65 stood at $553,000 which is relatively much lower than the accumulated wealth of M which stood at $14 million.
