OK I have the ability to put $1,000 per month into savings. With interest I would assume after 10 years I would have more than $120,000. Would I be better off putting it somewhere other than a savings account to get a better return?? I want this to be a low risk deal. In 20 years I would like to have at least $250,000 by doing this. With no interest at all I would have $240,000

Is there a way to make that turn into $300,000+ over that time period?

It will be interesting to see what ya'll come up with :urock2:
