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.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
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?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I have a 401K with 3% salary matching from my firm (and before my move I was kicking in the max 15% contribution for the first couple of years). We also have a profit-sharing plan with yearly contributions at our employers' discretion. I seriously doubt I'm going to need much of it, though.
Getting diagnosed with high blood pressure at 34 and hearing your doctor use phrases like "medication to counter the immediate risk of a stroke" means never having to say you're afraid you'll outlive your retirement plan.

It's from the opening ceremonies, Kathy, I nearly wet myself.
