By using solver, 11% p.a. CAGR is calculated. Thus, he needs to ensure that his asset appreciation must be over 11% p.a.
However, Mr.E required a house and a car ++ till 85 years old. So, the solver is re-simulated by reserving 395k@60 years old. Thus, he needs to ensure that his asset appreciation must be over 11.28% p.a.
