    Reaching a financial goal
    I have $42,180.53 in a brokerage account and I plan to contribute an additional $5,000 to the account at the end of every year. The brokerage account has an expected annual return of 12 percent. If my goal is to accumulate $250,000 in the account, how many years will it take me to reach this goal?
