Generation Xers--saving and investing strategy

An SI Board Since August 1997

Emcee: Mike McFarland	Type: Unmoderated

Introduction Compact

If you are 25 to 35 years of age and work for a living I hope this thread will become the place for you! With time on our side we do not need to worry about which way the market will move tomorrow. But neither can we throw money at an investment and expect it to grow automatically. Maybe timing is important...it is just a different timescale--what decade to cash out/how will the boomers effect things 20 years from now.

If you have a strategy which you think will pay off in 20 years post it!
I'll go first.
