Retirement

Last night I just happened upon a very interesting show on PBS on Frontline called The Retirement Gamble.  Wow, it was so informative on the history of mutual funds, 401K's, IRA's and retirement.  It was a perfect video to send to my girls to understand stuff.  The Hubby is all the time thinking about retirement and talking about retirement but I just don't see that happening.  He's just such a go-go kind of guy.  I think he dreams of it being great but not sure he can do it.  We'll see but that is a few years off and we have a few years left to try and build up that "fund".  Well worth a watch for everyone.

Retirement is something you really do have to plan for, I'm afraid. The economy is so volatile, you have to be really careful.

I'm starting to think about it. I have about 10 years left. But some of my cohorts from school are already retired. Nobody regrets it as far as I can tell.

I remember being told by my retired friends that they were so busy that they couldn't believe they ever had time to work. And now that I'm retired I know just what they mean. And only counting not having to pay for work clothes and lunches, it's a whole lot cheaper than working.
