Angel ,'Chosen'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I just laugh at the idea of retirement. I've got some annuities with the total of a year and a half's income in them, but I'll be working as long as I possibly can.
Yeah, my 401(k) has about one year of income in it at this time, and I'll get $85/mo from the company pension which shut down back in 1996, but that's all I've got outside of Social Security, which I'm praying I'll still have in 20 years.
I have not opened my retirement statements for 3 years. I know it is avoidance of the worst sort, but I just can't bear it.
I'm really fortunate that my company puts in a lump sum of a certain percentage of my annual income every year, because I haven't put one penny of my own money into it. And with school going on, I won't be able to contribute anything out of my own pocket until after I get my MLS.
brenda, love the video. Am about to facebook/twitter bomb, too.
Ack. I've been saving for like, seven years now, with a small but existent company match....and last I checked the 401k only had six months income in it (and that was before the latest crashes)
My IRA has maybe a year of living expenses. Maybe slightly more. I just try not to think about it.
I'm in meara's boat, if I'm lucky.
Flopping in after being so swamped I've hardly had time to read.
So, new tattoo. In context.
It is the connection between Jupiter and Venus. A statement to myself, and the world, that for all my days remaining, I will focus on being and receiving big love.
The motivation is a story longer that would probably be interesting enough to explain.
The first step in the experience of making this choice is that I went to the fellow who did my first tattoo 11 years ago. He's a creature whose presence just gives me joy. He's awesome to be around. I wish he was in my orbit always.
He gave me the tattoo as a gift.
Did I mention that he did the first one for free as well? We are going to embellish the first one, in an exciting way...and I WILL pay for that. In the meanwhile, I'm grateful and super happy with it.
THIS is my favorite photo of my favorite creature, ever.
Sigh.
We had it done in an actually photo studio. The little guy did NOT love the experience, but he just looks so cute.
last I checked the 401k only had six months income in it
let me note: this is why I have not opened my statements in 3 years. I am pretty sure that I'm in this boat.
I love the tattoo!
