I have a 401K that is fully vested. I contribute 10% of my salary and my company chips in with 0.25 for every $1.00 I put in. I've been doing it for 10 years now (since I was 28).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm a little smitten with Ben Agosto.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't put anything into my retirement, as my employers usually put 20% in for me. Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, Yahoo has recently decided I'm a spammer, and it's making me NUTS. I have to do that type-what-you see bullshit for almost every message lately. Do other people have that? Ugh!

I want tommyrot's job. Or just his employers, since I am certain I could not actually do his job.
Thanks everyone for sharing. This is really interesting. I have no SS, since I didn't work until I was 30, because of grad school.

I'm at a state university and I've been here a shamefully long time so I am vested and I also have a 403B.
I can't remember whether they are matching that or not but we have the State University Retirement System. And I don't believe you get much of anything unless you've been in the system for 20 years.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My company has a Simple IRA, and they match up to 3% of our salary; we can contribute a maximum of $10,000 a year. Which I do not.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I want tommyrot's employers and ChiKat's 401k.

IRA means something very different where you guys come from, methinks.
Also, Zenkitty, I sent you that paper I was working on.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have a 403 (b) which, up until this year, the Uni puts in 5 % of my salary, regardless of what I put in. I just started contributing because it is a way to recoup some of the theatre money I lose in taxes in the long run. Weirdly, one can contribute $15,000 a year if you want to. I only make $20,000. If I had a sugar daddy, I could save all my money for retirement.
