I am little over 25 and saving enough to have some where between 1 and 2 mil. to retire. Now if I can pay off this credit card debt then I can be on track to retire above 2 mil.

The trick is to get to 10%, that way your 1.5 mil becomes about 2.3 mil. The extra 800k should provide some peace of mind :) I am targeting about 3.5 mil my self, which gives a present value of about 1.5 mil. If I ING'd 1.5 Mil I'd get about 70k a year, more than enough to get by in 2007. 8% should not be too hard, you can buy market index funds, and they averaged a little under 8% the last 40 years or so.
