$25,000 x 3% compounded plus question about inflation?

Assume that putting on a major life event costs $25,000 now. How much will it cost in ten years, assuming 3% inflation? Also, do you think that a 3% inflation rate for an event in America is justified, or would you use a different figure? (No, I%26#039;m not some student looking for help with my homework: I don%26#039;t have a calculator that can do compound interest.)

$33,598. But there is no way to guess about inflation; that figure may be appropriate -- or not.
