She is saving money today for her retirement and is establishing a retirement account with your office.

She would ideally like to withdraw $50,000 on her 85th birthday and increase her withdrawals by 10% a year through her 89th birthday (she would like to withdraw $73,205 on her 89th birthday). She is planning anticipating that she will die on her 90th birthday, at which time she would like to leave $200,000 to her children. Your client currently has $100,000.
