    Re: What % Are You Investing for Retirement?

    Great question.

    1. My 401K and ROTH contributions are 21% of my salary
    2. Hopefully in 25 yrs (I'm 30)
    3. 401K options are quite limited. For ROTH I've been buying energy funds exclusively

    How about you ?

        Forgot about myself:

        1. 0%
        2. 20 years
        3. Nothing

        Finishing up my graduate degree, saving for our first home, starting my first "real" job next September, 24 years old - I'll begin investing for retirement next year.

            about 9 percent (will go up to an even 10 percent in January)
            I'm 28
            About 80% stocks, 10% annuities, 10% bonds

            My Roth, which I don't add to regularly, is all in mutual funds. I'm trying to work up to doing a major reallocation, though.

              What % are you saving just for retirement? %4 in company 401K for match and maxing out my Roth, $4000 this year.
              How long until retirement? 15. Ahhh to retire at 40 . Reality about 35-40
              What are you investing in? 401k is all risky funds. I've got nothing to lose. Roth, would be ~70% domestic funds, ~30% foreign funds.
