Scenario:
At age 30 you inherit $25,000 from your grandparents’ estate. You decide to use
$5000 of the money as a down payment on a new car and you invest the remainder
in an account paying 6% interest, compounded daily, where you leave the money
until you turn 60. How much money will you have at that time?

At that point you want to use this money to set up an annuity that will pay you monthly payments for the
next 20 years. How much money can you expect each month?

The total payout from this annuity will be just over $208,000.
