In summary, with no lump sum deposit, the $50 per week of frill expenses at a conservative rate of return can produce $2,194 of income per month in retirement--not a bad investment!
This example could easily be modified:
1.Include annual increasing the deposit by 2% to 3%;
2.Include a COLA of a similar value to the distribution time period; and
3.Change the accumulation or distribution time period.
Other assumptions could also be easily changed.
