Today is Dec. 31,2020. Lauren is planning to retire 40 years from today and has decided to save money to support her living for 20 years, i.e.,2061 through 2080, after her retirement (Caution: although the timeline is similar, details provided in Question 2 do not necessarily apply here). Lauren expects that although $60,000 is reasonable to cover her living expenses in 2061, the required expenses will then grow at a rate of 4% each year from 2062 to 2080. Assume that the interest rate is 10% and will be constant over time.
Determine how much she needs to save by the end of 2060.
