on that list of things i was gonna do was "get finances financy" so although i've got an employee stock option plan thing at work, i decided to invest just a little bit into a 401k (which the company doesn't match).
so i looked into everything, filled out their retirement worksheet, and came up with a figure of $459 a month.
that's $459 every month, into a retirement account, just so i can retire at 80% of my current salary at the age of 65.
i don't know about you, but $459 a month is not exactly the kind of money i have lying around....
granted, i'm starting at age 33, but... yikes?
Yeah, yikes. I suspect that I will never be able to fully retire.
ReplyDeleteMike, I mentioned my retirement plan in my blog this morning. It involves burying (planting) a large sum of cash. Could I borrow a large sum of your cash?
ReplyDeleteyeah, you guys have kids, too... how the hell is that supposed to work?
ReplyDeleteyes, brant, you may borrow a large sum of cash from me. right after i get one.
Having kids is the best retirement plan, period. Unless they are retarded and or can't hold down a decent job. That's when you sell them to the circus for whatever you can get...
ReplyDeleteMike, how much did your real parents get for you...?
