Today is your birthday and you decide to start saving for your retirement. You will retire on your 65th birthday and will need $50,000 per year at the end of each of following 20 years. You will make a first deposit one year from today in an account paying 8% interest annually and continue to make an equal amount of deposit each year up to the year before you plan to retire. If an annual deposit of $6,715 will allow you to reach your goal, what birthday are you celebrating today?
