something doesnt make sense on this page. it says if you start at 15 and put away $2000 for 7 years youll have over a million but if you put away the same amount for 50 years its only 2.3 million. i think the math got screwed up there

That chart looked a little sketchy to me too. :dunno:

I can assure you guys there is NO BS on that site, his # are there and correct. Of course the % rate will play a part in the exact number but it gives you a very close idea of what your looking at. Check out the site and give some of the places a call and meet with a local one in your area, you can see a chart like this at thier place of business.

While we're on the topic, what other types of investment/savings to look into?

good god there on his site ;D ;D, check it out.....you can get a 401K at most employers / 529 plan for college / Savings bonds / CD's ( they are pretty much old news now )

This stuff is overwhelming. :-\

Nothing to it once you do some reading on it, plus if you can hear clarks show its great and very informative. Dont let it scare you, its not that bad.....just pick one or more of the savings roads and START NOW. Then when you retire I can come over and help you spend that money :hitit:

you arent getting the short end of the deal. I mean that money is just sitting there doing nothing... it could be on my stang hauling ass... sounds good to me



:hammer:

Good idea, I bet it collects a lot of interest under there. :
