Project $3 Million .............................

Towards the end of 2008, I decided I would change direction with my Son's (currently age 25) portfolio and go with a Dividend Growth Strategy and reinvest the dividends.

The goal is to contribute $500 monthly and earn an 8.25% annual compounded rate of growth. Based on his portfolio value at the end of 2009, he will have accumulated a little over $3 Million by age 65.

The link below provides the site I used to determine the objective. The criteria:

40 years of $500 monthly. An interest rate of 8.25% compounded annually. Initial amount $42,205.00 (year end 2009 value of portfolio).

planningtips.com

In order to be on target at the end of 2010, he needed to accumulate $52,053.79.

Mission accomplished. End of year total is $54,949.87.
