Default Re: Index Fund Portfolio

not mutual funds, but very low maintenance...i'm a teacher, and i have 100 bucks a paycheck (200/month) going into these 3 things, and while i'll never be rich, in 25 years, i'll be well off in the 6 figures...

if you are going to invest for 25 years, why are you not willing to take on exceedingly small amounts of risk for much larger magnitude of returns. simply investing in an s&p or dow index or a well diversified stock portfolio for 25 years would net you an extra 100k (assuming 8% returns average over 25 years). this estimate is a conservative one based on long term historical data.
