If you invest the money, how could that affect your standard of living in the future? How far in the future do you need to look to see your standard of living be affected?

If Aunt Emma had not put any restrictions on spending the $6,000, how would you have spent the money? How would your standard of living be affected in your scenario?

My name is Chris. I am 25 years old, have a full-time job, and earn a decent salary. I have outlined a savings plan that I think will work for me. I plan to contribute $2,000 this year to a tax-free IRA that has been giving about 9% interest per year. I'll do this for the next nine years also, for a total of 10 years of investing. Because I hope to marry, own a home, and stop working to raise my children, I'll stop contributing after 10 years and leave the money in the IRA alone until I turn 65 and retire."
