These hypothetical examples illustrate the amount of monthly contribution required to be made at the beginning of every month to achieve the short-term savings goal. A 7% annual rate of return is used in the illustration. Income taxes, investment taxes and inflation are not included in the illustration. This is only for illustrative purpose and does not reflect actual investment outcome. Investing in this manner does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss in declining markets. Investing involves risk including the risk of loss.
