Barney has $232,000 remaining in his retirement account that earns 6% NAR compounded monthly. He is 70 years old and wants to ease into retirement over ten years by withdrawing $50,000 today and then gradually deplete the fund by reducing the amount withdrawn by $5,000 each year thereafter (e.g. withdraw $50,000 today, withdraw $45,000 at the end of year 1, $40,000 at the end of year 2, through $0.00 in year 10). He will live on social security and Medicare after the retirement funds are depleted. Is this scheme possible? Explain why or why not. Assume end of year withdrawals.
