Justin,

I just wanted to tell you that your post was like a breath of fresh air! Trust me, 25K is not "small beans" especially for a college student.

I heard a report the other day that sadly indicated that a majority of people believe the best way to achieve wealth in the country today is to play the lottery! It always pains me to see that people don't understand the rewards of consistant saving and investing. I'm absolutely certain that you've made certain "sacrifices" in order to build up such a fantastic portfolio and look how your diligence and discipline is paying off.

I just got my son investing in the stock market this past summer... he's out of college now and working and has saved nearly 40K over the past year and a half. He started putting his cash to work in the stock market incrementally. Since August, his 5K has turned into 7.5K (and at one point he was in the red), now he's added an additional 10K and is currently researching stocks to buy. I've told him to lurk this thread (along with several others on SI) to help him with his stock selection.

I have no doubt that you will surpass your goal before you graduate, though there will probably be some bumps along the way. For someone your age to have such insight into the market, I can only imagine how far along you'll be twenty years from now<g>

Your parents must be extremely proud!
