Suppose that you are age 25 today and plan on retiring at age 65. You determined that you need to have saved $659,754 in real dollars by the time you retire. How much must you contribute (in real dollars) each year to your retirement account to achieve your goal? Assume the following:
you make annual contributions;
each contribution is the same amount in real dollars;
the first contribution will be one year from today; your last contribution will be at age 65;
your portfolio earns a real annual rate of return of 4.45%, compounded annually.
Do not round at intermediate steps in your calculation. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Do not type the $ symbol.
