You are saving for retirement. Starting this month, you will deposit $600 per month into a stock account that earns 9% interest. In ten years, you will begin depositing an additional $350 per month into a bond account that earns 6% interest. You expect interest rates to shift upwards 1.5% 20 years from now. This means, at that point, each of the accounts listed above will earn interest 1.5% higher than before. How much will you have when you retire if you plan to retire in 37 years?
