Ten Tips for a Prosperous 2006, by Suze Orman.
For some reason, the sevens are always scary ages for me-- 17, 27, and now in a few weeks, i'll be 37.
I feel the same resistance that I felt in previous decades ("no! i'm not really almost forty!) but this time, i feel a need to prepare for the future that i don't recall from 27, and almost certainly didn't feel at 17.
So, I'm trying to get my arms around retirement savings, and really understanding all of this confusing stuff.
Incidentally, today is the 16 year anniversary of my salaried employment at my company. However, the HR department has June 9, 1986 as my "Most Recent Start Date". This is the date they use to calculate my official anniversary, I believe. That means that this summer will officially be my 20th anniversary here.
Although I was 17 when my company thinks I officially started here, I think I actually had a summer job here when I was 16 that they don't still have on the books for some reason.
Whatever– I've been here a damn long time, any way you look at it.
