Imagine you are 30 years old in 2017 and would like to retire in 2047 (when you are 60 years old). On December 31st, 2017, you invest $10,000 in an IRA (Individual Retirement Account), which is an investment account where you can save for retirement. With the $10,000, you buy 2 mutual funds. $5000 is invested in a stock mutual fund that is expected to return 7% per year, and $5000 in a Bond mutual fund that is expected to return 4% per year. Every year on December 31st, you continue to add $5000 to the IRA, of which $4000 goes into the stock mutual fund and $1000 goes into the bond mutual fund.
