I used data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to determine my initial starting salary as an Industrial Engineer. I am assuming that my first job will be paying me around that salary. My plan is to work for a single major company with a pension plan for about 38 years. I plan to graduate at age 22 and start working immediately after graduation which would put my retirement age 60. My investment portfolio before retirement is to be somewhat diversified with a heavy emphasis on high investment stocks and the real estate market. I plan to travel out of the country about once a year and locally (out of the state but driving distance) several times a year.

I did a sensitivity analysis on 10 different factors of my retirement plan. Four out of the seven factors are based upon the current economic and political climate. Throughout my analysis, I consider a savings gradient of 10% and under t...

    Can We Keep Our Promises? The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of the article called “Can We Keep Our Promises?” by Robert D. Arnott, and to help better understand the three key risks facing each investor. Robert Arnott describes risk and return as “having two sides of the same coin” meaning risk is inseparable from return. Arnott points out the most important risks that are faced by managers of company pension plans: underperforming other corporate pension funds (their peers), losing money (mostly associated with portfolio standard deviation or volatility), and underperforming the values of pension obligations and therefore losing actuarial ground.

  • How will a Change in the Interest Rate Change the Future

    814 Words  | 2 Pages

    Generally it is well known in economics that purchasers always want to maximize their utility levels. The maximum utility is given by the formulae of max U = f(C, C’) being subject to the equation of future consumption {[Y – C](1+r) + W = C’ – Y’} . This is an important part for our assumptions since a customer would have problem determining his/her maximum utility for present as well as future consumption when faced with a certain lifetime budget constraint. The budget line represents the levels of consumption for both periods according to some factors such as present and future income as well as the interest rate level and has a slope of –(1+r ). Before considering the effects of a change in the interest rates it is important to understand the first step of the consumption model. In the diagrams A and B below, we can understand that (I) the indifference curves, act on behalf of the equal levels of utility satisfaction derived from different mixtures of present and future consumption. That being said the point (W), which is identified a...

    1.) Up until 1900, the trend in public assistance, exclusively poor relief, had been to eliminate outdoor relief in numerous cities. That had been the trend based on the advocacy of the societies, which suggested that public aid caused poor individuals to avoid work and remain in poverty. In this period, reformers began to see the need for more public assistance. Poverty was seen as being something caused by broader systemic factors rather than idleness or the mother of all causes, intemperance. Now, most of society began to see these things as symptoms of poverty as opposed to causes.

    Various researches can determine possible reasons as to why consumers have quite a lot of trouble making financial decisions that can be the most beneficial later in life. In the context of savings for retirement, conclusions from a test reveal that self-regulatory state, possible future orientation and more and better financial knowledge can and most likely will influence a consumers intentions for retirement investments, for example, setting up a 401K in the USA. Other studies suggest consumers who show higher amounts of future orientation are usually more likely to start up a retirement plan. Studies also show that financial knowledge and financial orientation toward ones future can help to influence the chances of one participating in a 401K plan.
