Please buy this book, you will be convinced that you are doing the right thing. Marginal tax rates in the future will NOT be lower and you will be paying a tax on the compounded growth. http://www.amazon.com/Tax-Free-Retirement-Patrick-Kelly/dp/1425110827/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267729793&sr=8-1 No matter what your politics, marginal tax rates WILL be higher, to say nothing about state and local taxes. That will be the biggest threat to financial security, bigger than a market drop. Drop me a line and let me know what you think of the book. You are on the right track.

But let's be realistic for a second, I am going to "retire"? Probably not. I am 35 now and I can see that never happening. I stash away for the kid's college, which is 1 million percent MORE important since it is irresponsible for him to be hit with tens of thousands of dollars in interest fees because of America's broken educational finance system. Not only that, I have these things called bills. And if I do not pay them, the people who send me these bills will do things like kick me out of my house, take my car away, turn off the power, things like that. I need every dollar I make to live. I do not feel like putting money is some scam "savings" account so some rich stock brokers can steal it and make themselves richer. It is trickle UP economics. Money NEVER trickles down. Daddy Paul,

Oh well, it was good while it lasted. Have a look at this thread over on the mint getsatisfaction page:

But, you will find that being buffered magnifies the power of the snowball - you can identify and isolate the additional income that isn't going to be assigned to expenses the next month and get those sent off to the debts. Good on you and here's to the next 16%!! You are awesome…It took us about 16 months to get fully buffered, with murphy & setbacks along the way.

There wouldn't be much of anything left over for savings or snowballing, or my other debts in general. Actually, if I were to keep getting ahead further, I wouldn’t be making any progress.
