You want to start savingmoney so that when you kids need the money, you can support them. The current assumption is youwant to have kids in 5 years and you wish to have $200,000 in today's dollars when they are 15 yearsold. Based on current situation, you expect inflation to be stable at 1.5% in the foreseeable future.Your plan is to put down savings each year and you can save every year an amount that's 2% morethan the previous year. All your savings go to a stock fund that is expected to return 10% annually,of which 1% will be dividends and 9% will be capital gains. You pay income taxes at 15% ondividend incomes as you receive them at the end of each year. You re-balance your fund every year,meaning you sell all your positions and re-invest at the beginning of a new year, so capital gains arealso realized every single year and you pay 15% tax on capital gains as well. In order to have enoughmoney for your kids' education, how much money do you have to save in the first year?
