Question

First, he would like to be able to retire 30 years from now with retirement income of $23,000 per month for 20 years, with the first payment received 30 years and 1 month from now. Second, he would like to purchase a cabin in Rivendell in 15 years at an estimated cost of $693,000. Third, after he passes on at the end of the 20 years of withdrawals, he would like to leave an inheritance of $500,000 to his nephew Frodo. He can afford to save $2,000 per month for the next 15 years.
