How long until 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 ?

1. About 11%
2. in about 15 years, tho will never retire completely; will keep my freelance
3. no load mutual funds, 80% stock

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.

1. 12%
2. 25-30 yrs
3. Roughly 85% stocks, 15% bonds (1/3 of the stocks and bonds are international)

[TBH]

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.
