Kristin Earhardt is a 26-year-old management trainee at a large chemical company. She is single and has no plans for marriage. Her annual salary is $34, 000 (placing her in the 1 5% tax bracket), and her monthly expenditures come to approximately $1 ,500. During the past year or so, Kristin has managed to save around $8, 000, and she expects to continue saving at least that amount each year for the fore-seeable future. Her company pays the premium on her $35,000 life insurance policy. Because Kristin’s entire education was financed by scholarships, she was able to save money from the summer and part-time jobs she held as a student. Altogether, she has a nest egg of nearly $1 8, 000, out of which she’d like to invest about $1 5,000. She’ll keep the remaining $3, 000 in a bank CD that pays 3% interest and will use this money only in an emergency. Kristin can afford to take more risks than someone with family obligations can, but she doesn’t wish to be a speculator; she simply wants to earn an attractive rate of return on her investments.
