Well, just socking away 20% of our income into diversified portfolios over that time easily puts us halfway there, and that's not including any appreciation of principal. And just going off of *current* incomes. No appreciation there either (although we'll call it a draw with inflation). I let our 401k's take care of the diversified aspect of it (blend of international and domestic index funds and some fixed income for low risk investing).
In our Roth's I am slowly accumulating high dividend Dow stocks and rebalance them each year. Let them re-invest and grow tax free.
With non-retirement income I plan to invest into 3-5 rental properties over the next 15 years and use them for modest cash flow, with the ultimate goal of long term assets. At some point I may sell those off some of them for the investment capital to buy into a franchise group while holding onto some of them for cash flow to help offset the franchise costs the first few years.
By the time I'm 45 I should have a fairly well blended portfolio of equities, real estate, and franchise income.
Again, this is what would happen in an ideal world baring any medical issues or catastrophic economic events.
