*Assumptions: We assume a growth rate of 12% each year until the end of the investment term. Each person increases their contribution by
10% per year. We use the Momentum Focus 7 Fund of Funds and yearly inflation of 6% for the sums. For retirement annuity investors, we assume a retirement age of 65.

**Real value: Real value is like a magic mirror that shows how much you can buy with your future savings amount. It helps you understand how expensive things will get (because of inflation). It's a way to see how your saved money would look today, even if we look at it many years from now.
