our friend has just celebrated her 30th birthday and accepted her first job. She must now decide how much money to put into her retirement plan. Assume that every dollar in the plan is expected to earn a return of 8% p.a. and that your friend cannot make any withdrawals until she retires on her 65th birthday. After that point, she can make withdrawals as she wishes. She plans to live to 100 years and she plans to work until she turns 65. She estimates that to live comfortably in retirement, she will need $120,000 every year starting at the end of the first year of retirement and ending on her 100th birthday. Assume that she starts the contribution to her retirement plan on her 31st birthday and that she will contribute the same amount to the plan at the end of every year that she works. The amount of money she would need to contribute every year to fund her retirement is closest to: a. $7,475. b. $8,116. c. $8,207. d. $8,817.

Retirement Income

Retirement income is the income received by the retiring person after retirement. Income can either be paid every month or paid annually. The retiree would get a guaranteed income until their death. Retirement income payment differs from person to person based on their investment type and payment method. Some are paid on a lump-sum basis and some are paid in a regular series with fixed payment or variable cash flow. Retirement income can be created from retirement savings, investment, salary, bonus, and wages from employment. Every working individual should plan their retirement income according to their income goals for the future. The plan should be made by identifying suitable income sources, estimating future expenses, applying a savings plan, and managing risk and assets. The most common age for retirement is between 60-65 years.
