You know like if you put in x number of dollars each year when you are 20-something - how much that will be at a certain interest rate by the time you are 50 or 60? A one page chart would be perfect so I can run it off and mail it.

Not an easy question because it depends on the investment. For interest, you can search for what is called an amortization table. You can also call someone like T Rowe Price and talk to an investment counselour. They will send you a prospectus or various stocks and how they have performed over the years. You can also call a bank and get current interest rates on Treasure notes, E Bonds etc and they will give you projection tables on what the bonds will earn.

Use a calculator off of one of the investment sites. When you put in percentages for expected returns, do a couple of them to give yourself a more realistic range (ie: 8-10%).

AmericanCentury.com Go to Investment calculators, and choose staying ahead of inflation. That should give you what you need.
