You believe you must withdraw $12,000 per month during retirement. you plan to be retired for 30 years. assuming your money will earn 4.5% during retirement and also assuming that you will not adjust your withdrawals for inflation, how much money will you need to have on hand on the day you retire, in order to fund your retirement?

$2,385,086

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to use the present value of an ordinary annuity formula:

Where:

A = Value of the annuityi = interest raten = number of compounding periods

Because the interest rate is annual, it is convenient to convert it to a monthly rate.

4.5% annual rate = 0.37% monthly rate.

The number of compounding periods will be = 12 months x 30 years

                                                                            = 360 months

Now, we simply plug the amounts into the formula:

You will need to have saved $2,385,086 if you plan to retire under the aforementioned circumstances.

Secured loans are protected by collateral security. examples: title loans where the borrower uses the car title as collateral security interest rates are lower and repayments are longer therefore risk is low as a collateral security is given as guarantee to the bank in case of failure to pay the loanunsecured loans are not protected by collateral security but it is given on the creditworthiness of the borrower, trusting that she/he will pay on time. examples; payday loans is a short term loan where the borrower lends money from the bank and pays is back when the borrower receives his/her wages.interest rates are high and repayments are shorter. but the risk is high as no collateral security is given as a guarantee to the bank for payment of the loan
