The second major programming assignment I was given during my freshman year of college was a retirement calculator. Although the main goal of the assignment was to implement a interest compounding program, I believe my professor used this assignment to get us out of the get rich retire early mentality.

If I recall correctly, an average single person would need to save well over $1 million USD by retirement if they wanted to live comfortably for the next 10 years.
