My dad's been saving for my retirement all his life. Should be inheriting that soon.
I have a 92 year old grandmother (soon to be 93) who lives 1200+ miles away, hell yes I have money put back.
No savings. No assets. No income.
I'll start saving money when I start having some coming in.
Marry a career girl.....
mine started teaching school as soon as the youngest started school...
Risky, whatever else you do, don't make him mad....:2razz:
Same here, but I became an adult approximately two months ago. How old are you?
35. I've been living like this for the past seven years because ****ing Social Security won't admit that I'm disabled.
Yes, I have a couple years of rainy day funds saved up. Retirement's another matter, and I'm saving money far too slowly for that. It's a little concerning.
I'll start saving money when I am out of student loan debt. Every extra dollar goes to getting out of that hole.
I have some stocks that can be cashed in in a matter of 4 business days and wired into my account; I have close to 60% equity in my house (thanks to a fantastic deal on a foreclosed property even as far as foreclosed property goes); I get an annuity check every month that covers the mortgage; and two rent checks every month that covers most of the other household recurrent expenses like utilities/telephone/internet. I do have a saving account with about $1K in it and I pool money into my business accounts until the end of the year because my income is rather seasonal with those. I do not subscribe to the philosophy that people should have a lot of cash on hand though because that is wasted money given today's interest environment. Money should be invested, not saved, unless you want to be a wage slave all your life.
I save money all school year for the summer (when I don't get a paycheck from the school district). I'm the "nerd" who has spreadsheets set up for repaying debt and saving money. I'm also a planner, so I have my financial life planned a year in advance, including an emergency fund just in case.
Does your school system not have the option of spreading your pay over 12 months? Ours does. When I point that out to teachers who complain about not getting paid in summer they act put upon because that would mean they would get paid less during the months they are working. With them, there is no acceptable response other than "teachers are such victims" despite their starting pay with a bachelor's being about $10K higher than the local median wage to begin with.
Yes, we do. I choose to get paid for 9 months instead of 12.
Maybe take one of those years worth of rainy day funds and put it towards retirement?
It was a joke dude.
