Larry and Beth are both married, working adults. They both plan for retirement and consider the $6,000 annual contribution a must.
Â
First, consider Beth's savings. She began working at age 20 and began making an annual contribution to her IRA of $6,000 each year until age 32 (12 contributions). She then left full time work to have children and be a stay at home mom. She left her IRA invested and plans to begin drawing from her IRA when she is 65.
Â
Larry started contributing to his IRA at age 32. The first 12 years of his working career, he used his discretionary income to buy a home, upgrade the family cars, take vacations, and pursue his golfing hobby. At age 32, he made his first $6,000 contribution to an IRA, and contributed $6,000 every year up until age 65 (33 contributions). He plans to retire at age 65 and make withdrawals from his IRA.
Â
Both IRA accounts grow at an 8% annual rate. Do not consider any tax or inflation effect.
