Suppose that Tyler wants to buy a house and is thinking of using $20,000 that sits in a retirement account for a down payment on this new home. Using the $20,000 as a down payment will reduce Tyler's income when he retires in 30 years. If Tyler can earn an 8%8% annual return on his money if he leaves it in the retirement account, how much will his consumption in retirement be reduced if he uses this money for a down payment now?
