Question 982183: Deniece has accumulated $50,000 in her thrift savings plan at her job at the Federal Aviation Administration. The government puts in 1% of her pay and matches up to another 4% if she puts in 5% out of her pay. Deniece earns $80,000 a year and plans to add 5% from her income plus the agency 5% for a total of $8,000 per year. Her cousin Eugene says that if she invests in stocks, she can earn 12% per year because that has been the long term history. How much will she have in 25 years at retirement if she can earn 12% per year compounded annually?
