Please read instruction documents #1 and #2 to help guide you through the process of creating a Life Plan Presentation. I have also included an example of a Life Plan Presentation Document to help you gain a better understanding of all the requirements that are needed in the finished presentation. I have attached my initial CLE – Life Planning Assignment with some of my financial and professional goal information to help get the process started. Use my CLE – Life Planning Assignment Presentation and expand upon what I have provided in order to complete this assignment.
Life Planning Assignment
Spring 2019
MSIE Department
Requirement
You will be required to create a brief (15 min) Power Point Presentation showing the results of your Life planning Efforts and be prepared to present it on April 10th in class if selected. You will be required to submit the presentations on Blackboard. The selection for doing the oral presentation in class will be random and will have the advantage of earning extra points on your grade for the assignment. Presenters should provide a hardcopy of the presentation to the professor.
Presentation guidelines
The Presentation should include as a minimum
A slide on your Life values, Goals, and Major Accomplishment,
A slide on your Life Integrated Master Plan (IMP),
A slide on your Financial Plan, and
A Slide on your Career Plan.
Presentation guidelines
You should be prepared to answer questions for the class and professor about your plans.
You do not have to use actual financial data if you are uncomfortable doing so but your data should be somewhat realistic to make the outcome a useful plan for you to take away and employ in the future.

later and pension will supplement other retirement account until my
death
On Track for Savings Goals and Retirement
Quicken Exercise Lessons LearnedQuicken Exercise Lessons Learned
• Conducting this exercise has resulted in determination of the following
Life Plan needed alterations:
– College funds for both daughter’s are not supportable with standard bi-monthly
savings account deposits (@ 0.75% ROR)
� Contributions to independent savings accounts have been temporarily increased to
support end goal, and;
� An alternate college planning vehicle is being explored to
replace current savings account methodology
� Section 529 Account
� Custodial Account (AGMA/UTMA)
� Coverdell Education Savings Account
– Wedding fund bi-monthly contributions for both daughter’s were not sufficient
for estimated costs for a ‘sufficient’ (as defined by spouse) wedding a quarter of
a century away
� Original goal of $20K/daughter has been increased to $50K/daughter
– 401K was being ‘Maxed-out’ and was reduced to employer match with residual
funds directed into a brokerage account
� Reduce tax-deferred dollars to reduce federal tax balloon payment at retirement

Sensitivity Analysis ConclusionsSensitivity Analysis Conclusions
• No one single ‘perceived negative (or positive) impact’ event
degrades life plan to an unacceptable level
• To achieve the best case stacked scenario modeled (#10), current
Capital One Savings accounts yielding 0.75% ROR is insufficient
– Other investment strategies with low to medium risk need to be explored
• If the worst case stacked scenario modeled (#12) does occur,
sufficient funds will be available to fully fund dependents college and
weddings and to provide a sufficient lifestyle for spouse until her
death
• Path forward Actions:
– Downselect and procure 529 product for each daughter
– Move Captial One General Savings into a brokerage account and
distribute current and future contributions into a diversified portfolio

What If Scenarios
Scenario 1:
What if I live 5 years more(instead of age 75 to 80 years
I will still have enough funds to manage my expenses.
Scenario 2:
What if I get retired at the age of 54 instead of 59(5 years prior)?
I will have $1.1M instead of $1.3M at retirement.
Scenario 3:
What if we change our savings to 20% of salary yearly instead of 35%?
Our plan fails, we are depleted in the year 2025, 46 years before the end of our plan.
Inference:
The very first and the foremost thing learnt is “PLANNING IS ESSENTIAL”.
Have to get a job, as soon as possible, after graduation.
Monthly savings of 4099$ will be inching to fulfill the future goals.
Current expenses is $1000/ month and readjusted to 3300$ for future after analysis.(excluded inflation rate).
Few changes had to be made to my current life plans to accomplish my goals.
Things always don’t go as planned. So, HARD WORK is must.
