RETIREMENT PLANNING FOR THE FOSTERS

The Fosters definitely want to plan for retirement. They would love to retire at 63, with 80% replacement of preretirement income. But they understand that they may have to wait longer if that is not a possibility.

Assumptions:

In your conversations with the Fosters and from your research you have discovered:

Inflation (CPI) is expected to be 3%
The rate of return on their investments and any additional retirement savings is expected to be 8%
Both have similar 401(k) plans at their respective employers. Both plans have an employer match of 100% for the first 3% of salary David contributes, and 50% for any contributions greater than 3% up to 5%. Briana would like to start contributing but hasn't gotten around to it. David contributes 10%.
Based on their family history, they both expect to live to age 95
Their combined Social Security Benefits are expected to be (in today's dollars):
- Age 63 - $36,450
- Age 65 - $42,120
- Age 67 - $48,600
You should be able to perform all calculations using the methods found in your textbook.
