So you win the lottery tomorrow, you're still going to ride the back of the garbage truck?

I would love to run my own antiques store when I retire at 50. But no, I can't afford to do that right now. My job is fun, but I do it for the paycheck, not the experience. I'd rather be doing something else.

And yes, I do work with stuffed shirts all day. I guess that's your way of slamming a well-paying corporate job. Keep telling yourself that you do what you do because you "enjoy it".

How many people lost their retirement in the Enron scandal? I'm wondering if at least one of them was pompous too.. I wonder if they're still pompous.

About the same number of people who only had enron in their portfolio.

If I liked working on a Garbage Truck I would. Can't see how it could be any worse that prancing around some Antiques store selling junk to pretentious assholes like you.

Now that I got my retaliatory insult out of the way. If you are working in an Antiques Store after 50 then you are still working aren't you? Should we feel sorry for you if we hit the Lottery and retire at 50 because you are working at 65 doing something you like or maybe dreamed of doing ?

I don't even know what that means. You win. I'll stop posting.

I posted a link to the current Federal retirement program, it's diverse enough that it's hard to fvck up too much.

Thrift Savings Plan

Take a look @ the options & the rates of return.
