comment from student: I must have incorrectly posed the question... when I use the online calculator from NerdWallet
(which I discovered after sending in the question) it comes out 207,221. I think the difference is my desire
to contribute 5,000 each year, not just initially. Thanks.

My response :   I read your comment and can not understand,  what this collection of words means.

More concretely, I do not understand what you want from me . . .
