I'm wondering how much people think I should be investing per week in order to become wealthy.  I know that it matters what I invest my money in and how early in life I start to invest, but I'm wondering if $50 or less per week is enough.

If people think about this stuff on a monthly investment schedule, $50 per week would be $200 per month.  From the first thought, I don't think this is enough.  I know it is good to be investing on a weekely schedule (due to the dollar cost averaging theory), but I think I will need to find some way to increase the amount of my investments.

If I only invest $20 per week, then that would put me at $80 per month.  That would put me at only $960 per year in retirement savings.  Even if I started really early in life and took advantage of compound interest, saving $20 per week will not be enough. 

Saving $50 per week would give me a total of $2600 dollars per year being saved and invested.  This is better, but I still don't think it will be enough.  It won't even be enough to retire let alone to become wealthy.

Are you saving and investing enough money for retirement each month?  How much are you saving?  Have you calculated how much this will give you when you reach retirement age?
