I am trying to make it add $1000 every year and have an 8% return over 10 years but don't know how to access my previous value in my loop
money=1000;
supersaver=1000;
y=zeros(1,10);
for i=1:10
y(i)=(money+supersaver)*1.08
end

money = zeros(10,1);
supersaver = 1000;
Return = 0.08;
money(1) = supersaver*(1+Return); % Money at end of year 1
for i = 2:10
money(i) = (supersaver + money(i-1))*(1+Return); % Money at end of year i
end
format longEng
money
money = 10x1
