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.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
IRA means something very different where you guys come from, methinks.
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.
