Rob, almost certainly there won’t – but if there’s no money for social security, there won’t be any money for the state to assist you! Start saving now!!!!
Thoughts on the Golden Globes?
I thought they were boring, Ricky Gervais had some funny moments, but not hilarious, however I thought most of the women looked gorgeous…
You may notice a slight change on your net pay this week. This was the first paycheck of the new year and taxes have gone up, which has probably reduced your net pay a bit.
You may want to up your 401K this year to help offset those increases. The 401K deductions are pre-tax as you may recall. This ultimately reduces your taxable income. We do have some conservative options which will yield some interest.

I currently contribute 1% of my paycheck to my 401K (tho i totally think that’s 1 percent too much but whatever) the reason i only do 1 percent is cuz i feel like if i dont take part in the company 401k they will think im weird or something.. plus i think companies get better deals if they have more people in it? am i correct about that?
i dont see the point in it if i cant take out that money immediately in case of an emergency. and then there’s a big penalty? wouldnt it be better to just put money in a piggy bank or a regular bank?
401k’s seem like such a scam. granted there will probably be no social security when i am of retirement age.. 🙁 but i figure whatever, if i make it that far (lolz) ill just sponge off the state.

all award shows are. just a bunch of people patting themselves on the back for doing nothing of importance.

M4L the corn is amazing. the one with chorizo and spicy mayo. Did you get it?
There’ll likely be teabagging after the lobster dinner, yes.
I’m getting lobsters from Chinatown tonight!!!
