For the initial scenario, assume your current age, zero current savings, a retirement age of 60, a life expectancy of 95 years, an inflation rate of 3.5%, an investment portfolio return of 9% and current purchasing power of income of $75,000. Set up your worksheet to compute and show the user: (a) How much they will need to have the day they retire in order to fund their retirement with no additional contributions, (b) How much they will need to invest in the fund each year until retirement to reach that goal.

Do a second scenario with retirement age of 70 and make a text section in which you explain the differences between retiring at age 60 and waiting until age 70. Which would you personally prefer and why? How will your choice affect your investing strategy for the next 20 years?
