Amy makes her first $15,000 payment into a conservative savings plan, earning 8% per year into her savings account when she is 28 years old. After the 10th payment, Amy makes no additional payments nor does she withdraw any money from the account. One of Amy's friends, Frank, starts a savings plan that is identical to Amy's when he is 38 years old (Ffank's account also earns 8% per year). He continues making $15,000 annual payments until he is 60 years old. If both Amy and Frank retire when they are 60 years old, who will have more money in their savings plan at that time?
