4.    How many years to you plan on contributing to your retirement account?  Specify which years, and why.

7.    At what age do you plan on retiring?  How long will you draw on your retirement funds?
8.    How much do you expect to withdraw annually or monthly when you retire?  How much is this in today’s dollars vs future dollars?
