We should have all my debt (including mortgage!) paid by the time my wife and I are 35, at which time we'll increase the pace of our retirement savings. I'm guessing the nest egg will hit around $400k by the time we retire, but that's not including our pensions which should cover any basic needs. Thanks for the giveaway - I'd love to have a read through this one! I’ve got a solid government pension, so ratios that only focus on individual savings (IRA/401K/RRSP) don’t really apply to me.

How do you feel about the 50/50 ratio proposed by the book? Nice solid plan, did you have a more aggressive mix in the past for your retirement?

We do already have a good start on retirement funds, but need another $150,000 for me to feel comfortable. Our mortgage is much less than the ratio for my age so we're donig okay. My 401K mix is becoming more conservative now. .-= Bucksome´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.bucksomeboomer.com/2010/01/leftovers-need-a-pr-makeover/" rel="nofollow">5 Ways to Make Over Your Leftovers</a> =-.

I'm not giving myself a copy. Besides, is there a rule that someone doing a review can't win a copy too? :) Winning the Flip Camera shouldn't bias one's decision, as winning a flip camera took effort to come up with something creative, and it wasn't random (thnx Sun Financial Diary!)

I assure you it will be completely random based off of random.org. I agree about reading this when I was 21, although I'm not sure I would have made it through.
