Investment plan help! Help!?

suppose I want to increase $20,000 to $30,000 within the next 20 years. What are three different ways I can do this?

What are three different average growth rates.

using the rule of 72 , even a very meager 6% annual return will DOUBLE your money in 12 years.

if you want safety, then I am sure that US Treasury Bonds will grow 50% in 20 years. 4% annual return will DOUBLE in 18 years (rule of 72 is divide annual return into 72 to determine how many years it takes for investment to double.)

Figure the best return you can get on T-Bonds and determine how much you must invest to safely make it to $30,000. with the left over go wild and bet aggressively.

These don't give you exactly the answers you are asking about, but you can just about fall off a log and make 50% in 20 years.

a growth of only 10k over 20 years, if you are looking to earn that low return, stick it in a cd, and you should make it..

A savings account will make you about 4% per year.

Bonds and mutual funds will get you a little bit higher.

Stocks will make you 10-15% per year on average if you know what you're doing.

$10,000 gain over 20 years is literally nothing though. You can do a lot better than that. You can easily double your money in 5 years or less, without any sort of gambling or high risk involved.

Simple CD's or treasury bills would do it.

I was introduced to the investment of the iraqi dinar. This speculates that you buy with $1,000 at least 1,000,000 dinars. After iraq has a stable economy and goverment it should reval close to almost 1 USD : 1 dinar. For more info go to http://www.investorsiraq.com Good luck

buy gold as pure as you can get may be 24karatt

you can wear the jewellery for 20yrs and sell it for more then you purchased for

invest in real estate if you would have been in pakistan I would have taken this money and would give 500% after 20yrs.
thats because if you buy a good land here it can grow 50% in land value in just 6months
