Krista Mcconnell · Answer 1

If Ms. Lund lives in an area where the cost of living is low, $42,000 a year over a twenty-five year period could allow her to live frugally, save, invest, and now in her forties be able to cash in some of her investments to buy the house and car of her dreams. At the same time, it would be the course of prudence to bring in an outside auditor.
