Check the amount of interest earned each month (amt * rate/12). If this is greater than what you're taking out of the account, then you'll never deplete the account, so there's no point in trying to... |

How do you think it should be approached? What do you think needs to be done? Let's hear your ideas first - even in English rather than in Python, if that's easier. We can take it from there. |
