Cool Beans

December 31st, 2006 at 06:37 pm

Hi, everyone. I decided to check my retirement account online to see how it is doing. I don't check it very often, so I figured New Year's Eve would be the perfect time. I have only been contributing since July and already have $3432.36. Wow. I had no idea it would grow so much in only 6 months. At this rate of growth, I could have close to $10000 by the end of next year. I like this. We can just adjust how it is invested at any time, but we can't choose specific stocks, bonds, etc. I think I will let it ride another year and then open an IRA in 2008. While I love working in my library, I don't want to have to work when I am 70 or be living on food stamps and social security. I want to have fun and travel then.

    When asked what the most powerful force in the universe was, Albert Einstein replied without hesitation, "compound interest"!

    Keep on saving in the New Year!

    Keep on keeping on, but remember to rebalance every so often.
