Practice Problem 1: Retirement Calculator, due Thursday, 8/24

Objective: To write a simple Retirement Calculator in VB .NET

Write a program that behaves like this one (If simply clicking doesn't work, right-click and select "Save Target As", then save and open the file.) Make sure to substitute your name in the Form's Title Bar for your program.

Here are some more details and rules:

You must write your program using Visual Basic .NET or something equivalent (like #Develop)
Do not use the Pmt function or any other utilities or formulas for interest calculations. Instead, use a loop, adding interest for each year.
Your program must use at least 2 functions or subroutines.
Your program must not use any global or module-level variables. All variables must be declared inside functions/subroutines. They can be passed between subroutines as parameters when needed.
You should have "Option Strict On" at the top of each module of your program, in this and every assignment.
When turning in your homework, zip up the entire solution and e-mail it to me.

Your grades in this class will be based upon your program's correctness, clarity, programming style, and efficiency. So take care with things like comments, variable names, etc.
