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.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

Art Crawl!!!
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.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
My employer has a 401K with dollar for dollar matching up to 3% of Salary and $.50 per dollar up to 6% of salary, but I haven't signed up for it, despite being here 8 years. I really need to look into it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, it's the same.
... Just kidding. It's Individual Retirement Account.

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 heard about that on the radio this morning--I hope they can get some people out.
BTW, Trudy, where did you get your tagline? Was it during the Olympic coverage last week?
