Problem
1. Consumption Answer the following questions: a) Suppose that an individual receives limited income from side jobs until his/her 205, high income from a Wall Street job in his/her 305/405/505, and limited retirement income after his/her 505. What is the optimal consumption path for the individual over his/her lifetime?
2. Can you explain why the previous path is optimal?
3. Are there any factors that can prevent him/her to follow the optimal path?
4. Suppose that, at some point, the value of his/her stock market investments doubles. How does this affect the optimal consumption plan described?
