You just turned 22 years old and want to retire when you turn 65. You plan to put $3,500 every year into a ROTH IRA, a retirement account from which you can withdraw money after retirement without having to pay any taxes. You expect to earn a return of 6% on your investments every year.

You borrowed $600,000 at an interest rate of 3.1%, with constant annual payments of both principal and interest over 15 years. What is the outstanding balance after 6 years?
