Years until retirement:    

30

Amount to withdraw each year:

$120,000

Years to withdraw in retirement:

25

Because your friend is planning ahead, the first withdrawal will not take place until one year after she retires.  She wants to make equal annual deposits into her account for her retirement fund.
