Hmm, I wonder if the interest is compounded monthly or daily instead of annually. That could make a difference. I'll have to read the question carefully.

The interest is compounded annually, so it doesn't matter if it's monthly or daily.

Wait, wait, wait. What if I decide to withdraw the $2,000 in 4 years instead of 3? Will that change the final answer? I better double-check the details.

This seems like a straightforward interest calculation problem. I just need to figure out the balance after 5 years and then subtract the $2,000 withdrawal. Easy peasy!

Okay, let's see. If I have $5,000 and withdraw $2,000 in 3 years, and the account earns 8% interest annually, that means I'll have more than $5,000 left in 5 years. I'll just need to calculate the exact amount.
