So far this year, my wife has put nearly $13K in her 401(k) and I have put more than $11K, plus we already maxed out our 2006 IRA contributions of $8K. Thus, roughly about $15K are from asset appreciation. Hi 2million:

Im thinking if you say earned a 20% return on your holding = $24k + $15k contributions = $39k? Im missing something...... unless its a 401(k), roth + spouse retirment accounts? or a sep or indiviudal 401(k)? Sun – help me out, how did your retirment accounts jump $48k in value?
