The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Fv = pmt [ (1+r) ^ (t) - 1) : r]

65,000 * 0.046=2,990

65,000 * 0.08=5,200

Fv = 5,200 * (((1+0.0532) ^ (10) - 1) : (0.0532)) = 66,390.27

F v = 2,990 * (((1+0.0532) ^ (10) - 1) : (0.0532)) = 38,174.40

38,174.40 + 66,390.27 = 104,564.67

If he puts away 8% of his $65,000 salary every year, he would have saved $104,564.67 in 10 years.
