Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate both the power and utility of mathematics in helping people devise savings plans for retirement. In addition to demonstrating how spreadsheets can be useful in retirement planning, the development of an analytical model based on discrete dynamical systems is provided. A discussion of the fundamentals of mutual funds investing is also included, along with a list of retirement investing planning resources.
