  1. 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?
