Question:
Suppose you expect to live for 20 years after retiring at age 65. You would like to save enough money to have $30,000 per year to live on during your retirement. Currently, at age 30, you would like to start saving a fixed amount each year to fund this retirement plan. How much do you need to save each year to reach your goal? (Assume all annuity payments are end-of-period, ordinary annuity payments, and use a 7% interest rate, compounded annually, in your calculations).
You are faced with a choice of mortgage terms to purchase a new home costing $300,000. You are able to put a $40,000 down payment on the home. The bank offers you a fixed-rate of 4.5% for a 30-year loan, and one at 4% for a 15-year loan. You have determined that you can afford up to, but not more than, a $1750 monthly mortgage payment. How do the payment amounts on the 2 loans compare? Can you afford the 15-year loan?
