But I logged in to check my 401K today and it has finally crossed the 20K barrier.
Not bad for 3 years... I remember how excited I was when it first crossed 2k and then 5k. Just thought I would share. My wife will just roll her eyes at this accomplishment. 401K's are sweet.

Yes, you are definately not K-Dog or FMCoug.
![]() Congrats on the savings. It feels great to be able to put some money aside for the future. Keep it up. |

Back in 2000, my 401K was really soaring. Then I got greedy. I thought, "hey I am young and I have several years before I need this money. I can stand more risk." So I shifted most of it into growth stocks. Then the crash came in 2001 and my 401K got absolutely slaughtered. Still makes me want to throw up when I think about it.
Advice to you youngsters: Go with one of the preset mixes if your fund offers them and don't try to get more aggressive than that.

How did I end up lumped with K-Dog on these kinds of posts? MW and realtall have both seen my house. It's hardly ostentatious for a family of 6.
And how could you not mention Haddow in that reference? |

FMC is a nicer version of Haddow and KDog?
Let's see who has the smallest investment after the most years. If one computed fewest dollars saved per year as a percentage of income, yours truly might qualify.
