Do you get direct deposit? See if they can split your check into two, certain percentage goes into the long term savings account and the rest into your checking.


Like Jos said, I don't see them dropping anymore, however it'll take awhile for them to go back up. Even more so if numb nuts gets re-elected. :bonk:

I do get direct deposit from the Army, starting in August I should be getting paid more, plus a part time job on top of that. I'll just split the money myself, its not hard at all, heck all the money in my checking account is from my savings because I don't have a job right now :banghead: My mom owes me $1600 and my brother owes me $1,750.

I sure hope he doesn't

Haven't really thought of a set number yet, $500,000 would of course be nice, maybe in 10 years I'll be looking around $12,000 alone without interest. That's saying $100/ month for 10 years, I'm not sure how much interest I would gain along with that.

My advice to you is to live with your parents as long as you can, pinch every penny and save in CASH 500K... at age 30 you take 400 of that and roll it over in investment properties, use the 100k for a "rainy day" buffer but continue to raise another 500K out of that.....

I lost my ASS up until Sept of 2011. In the quarter preceding that, I lost 16%. SIXTEEN PERCENT!

I kept my funds in aggressive growth, toughing it out.

When I got my statement at the end of the year, I made it all back + 4%. At last check, I'm making 9% on my money. I'll take that!

So I'm guessing its kinda like going to the casino, one minute you'll be winning and the next you'll be in a hole

No! It's not like gambling! You have to look at your investment in terms of the QUALITY of the peeps you put your cash into, and their track record!

Villipotto and Barcia may finish 3rd one week, but odds are they will do better than that in subsequent weeks! You have to stay with the winners!

It's kinda like that!
