Two sisters, lily and suri, have been saving money for college for the past several years. At the end of the first year, each sibling has $20. At the end of every year after that, lily managed to triple the total amount from the previous year, while suri increased the total amount from the previous year by $80.

If the trend continues, how many years will it take lily to have more money than suri?
