I agree with your Jan 2007 summary post, disciplined investing yields notable growth. I will turn 30 later this year. I am happy to note that my wife and I have successfully achieved our financial goals to this milestone. Now we have revised upward our financial plan for the next hurdle. One resource that I have found helpful is: http://assetbuilder.com/ there is a wealth of info on this site, including a comparison of wealth by age category - http://assetbuilder.com/?p=88 What this says is if you reach your goal of $100K before turning 30 you will be in the top 10% of net worth for your 20-something age category. It is an inspiring fact to keep the focus on continued savings. Good Luck! My Financial Journey,

As far as what I contribute I originally came up with a goal that I wanted to meet ($100k in principal by age 30). I then backed down to what it would take to reach that goal. Whenever I come across more money (raise, unexpected windfall) I always try to take at least a portion of that to help increase my contribution percentage. Not sure how contribution limits could stop you from hitting your goals....can you elaborate more? I’m not exactly sure I understand your question.

Not sure how contribution limits could stop you from hitting your goals….can you elaborate more?

I feel sort of stuck because we're just starting out and I know we're doing the best we can. But what if contribution limits stop us from hitting our goals? Any advice?
