Davy, who just turned 55, intends to retire 10 years from now. Together with his life insurance agent, he determines that he will need to have approximately $200,000 in RRSPs when he reaches age 65 in order to retire comfortably. He feels confident that his current RRSP account can generate a return of 3% per year on average for the next 10 years.

He therefore wonders whether his RRSP account currently has sufficient funds for him to meet his retirement goal in 10 years.
