The first 100K seems to be taking forever. Hopefully by this time next year i'll reach 100K so I reach it before I turn 30.

Doubling your egg in two years is awesome. My goal is to double every five years with contributions + organic growth.

Now I have $10K swings on a daily basis sometimes. How things change.

My nest egg isn't nearly as big as others, but I met my goal today to have $30,000 in investments by the time I turned 25. And I was 4 months early!

I've been looking at my portfolio with only one eye lately. It's getting better, but for a while I was afraid to look at even through splayed fingers.

I can't wait to be able to increase my milestone gaps. For now it's just plug and chug. 26.5 years old and hovering at $53,500 in retirement accounts.

All this talk about markets made me interested enough to log into my 401(k). Down 0.6% YTD. I think it was down more earlier but I don't remember.
However, that's all been tempered by the fact that my employer just announced they're going to gift an extra 1.5% to our plans based on 2007 contributions. That brings their 2007 match to 7.5%... can't complain about that!

 (There's a wise-man character in the excellent book Bridge of Birds whose "logo" was half-closed or half-opened eyes, IIRC.) I am tired of looking at my accounts. I can't get to my milestone--almost there but not quite. |
