Mega Millions 355,000,000$

Just don't want to have anyone take that quote literally...

The very best way to double your money is by making the maximum contribution to your company 401 (k) or 403 (B) plan...you get an immediate 25 to 35% return because the dollars you invest are not taxed until you retire (at a lower tax rate) you also get the matching amount that your company invests in you. Say the company gives you 25 cents for every dollar you put in...well to me that is another 25% on top of the 25 to 35% (depending on your tax bracket).

My accountant says in terms of investments, max out your 401 k as the number 1 priority, I even consider it more important than our investments in our homes. While we recently sold a home in Florida for over $600,000 that we purchased for $150,000 20 years ago, that gain is really not even close to the compounding of our 401k and 403b plans over the past 20 years. Until 2001 we were doubling our money every 4.5 years. The market has recovered and we are in nearly the same mode now except that our portfolio is much more conservative because I am old as dirt.

That's how you double your money...over and over...start as young as possible let compounding (making interest on the interest on top of the principle) be your friend...make that decision today...take maximum advantage of the programs your employer offers and never touch it.

If you are self employed the SEP Ira will do the same for you.

Sorry for the rant...just the professor in me coming out!

Damn Roy, you need to get your truck back.

John, I need it bad...I am going around the house looking for things to wash, clean, or repaint...I'm getting so domestic that I may start wearing an apron.

Never used to look at our investments...I'm so bored that I am following many of the specific funds on line several times a day...maybe I should get back to porn?

You really know us "absent minded professors". Even when I leave it down on purpose...they don't notice. All these youn'uns, are convinced that I am just too old to care...or maybe it just 'isn't a very big thing...'
