Interesting you mention your 20's. I'm going to coach my kids to make the most of their 20's earning-wise/saving-wise. If you could enter your 30's with some financial comfort, you sure could enjoy parenting, etc even more.



Great advice Chris and even better parenting -- thta what i did with my kids when they were here and now they are doing really well as Professionals in their late 30's and are invested better than i was at their current age .


Plan your Life/work , and work your plan .

Set specific AND MEASUREABLE goals that are annually reviewed to keep yourself on target for financial independence , physical fitness and with discipline YOU will hit your TARGET

It's not my fault. I have a defective brain and have no clue what I want. I suspect that won't change in the near future.

I try to put away as much as possible. Out about 7-8k year into my 401k, .50 on the dollar match up to 5% by employee. Have year end profit shaing, so it all adds up. Also have a separate Roth, College Savings Plan, ING savings account etc... Try to spread it all out. May have to knock off my parents/mother in-law to add to my property portfolio.
