Oh, and here is some food for thought...$2,500 per year...if you think that is not possible to save that much...think again. $2,500 divided by 365 days in a year equates to only $6.85 per day. Just reduce your daily spending by $6.85 per day, and that will equate to $2,500 savings per year. Put that savings in your investment account from age 18-26, and you could easily never contribute any more again and still have $1 million at retirement. Of course, once you're used to saving money every month, you would likely want to continue saving, and then you'll have even more at retirement.
