Wow, I am shocked!!

October 6th, 2007 at 09:23 pm

I know how to keep up with my savings, checking and cd's using the computer to look them up everyday.
What I had not bothered with (much) was using the computer to see how my mutual funds are doing.
Just for the heck of it (cause my dh is at a local car show), I decided to look up my mutual funds with American Century.
My Heritage fund has had a 53.24% gain in the past 12 months!!
Wow, I am shocked!!
That was the very first fund I ever opened back on 7-11-88. I opened it with $2000 but back then, they would accept any amount.
I put a grand total of $6500 in it, with $50 or $100 dollars going in as often as i could save it out of my tips. The fund is now worth over $48,000 now.

Start young and save what you can. It will pay off down the road.
