Assume that you are 22 years old and are started saving for retirement on January 1, 2022. You plan to retire on December 31, 2068, when you are 68 years old. There are 47 years from the time you started investing (saving) until you retire. You have no previous or other retirement savings when you start to save. Assume there are 365 days and 52 weeks in each year from 2022 to 2068. (Ignore leap years). Assume that taxes will not affect any of the amounts or your savings.

 

You invest $50 at the end of each week into a retirement account paying 8.5% compounded weekly for 12 years starting on January 1, 2022.
