    Hmm. 2 days ago

    I had planned on doing this for my birthday, but that has come and gone. I think it may have to wait until next year, just so I can have an easier time of it. I still need to buy a new car, as well as several lesser purchases. Before fall 2010 then? Or my next bday?

    What to do? 2 months ago

    I’m getting to the point where I might actually be able to put something away, but I’m having doubts. Mostly I’m worried about it disqualifying me for financial aid… Am I being silly? It is something I would like to do before I finish college.

    Opening a Roth IRA 12 months ago

    I need to do more research, but I’ve heard this is the way to go. Right now I have everything in my company 401(k) but I’ve heard these are better. Of course the stock market sucks right now: I’m down by 1/3 in my 401(k), but I have time. I want to get my retirement goals in order by the time I’m 30.

    I guess so. 21 months ago

    I can’t touch it so it will accrue…



    I need to start early! 22 months ago

    I should open one because I have the advantage of opening one early. I don’t think I will be able to put in the maximum, but even small amounts will benefit me when it comes time for me to retire.



    step one.. 22 months ago

    called and had them send me the Roth IRA paperwork. Should be here this weekend!



    need to do this! 23 months ago

    I have 7% taken out weekly for my 401k, but the company I work for doesn’t match anything, so I want to reduce the percentage and open a Roth IRA in addition to my 401(K) – The Roth IRA is more accessible
