Use the following information to design a life-cycle income-spending-saving plan:
Initial age is 23 when income is $46,000.
Inflation is 0% so all increases are real rates.
Income grows by 3% annually except on decade birthdays (e.g. 30, 40, etc.) when it jumps by 15%.
The person works until age 68.
Any savings (wealth) grows at 5% annually.
Taxes take 25% of gross income each year. Savings are 15% of net (after-tax) income.
There is no Social Security or other government programs.
How much will they have saved (wealth) at age 68?
How long will their retirement wealth last if their retirement spending is 75% of their last work year’s spending?
