      Example
      Over the course of a 35 year career, you save $500 per month and average a 10% return. Then you wish to retire. Assuming you start with $10,000, are retired for 40 years, can continue averaging 10% per year, and wish to retain $1,000,000 minimum, how much will you have saved at retirement and how much can you withdraw each month during retirement?
