Hello retirement


During another wonderful yoga class, a big mouse came. When our class ended, I heard one of the male students say: 'Oh. There is a mouse' Girls immediately started to scream. I thought the scream would have probably scared the mouse away but it didn't. I walked over to his shoe and sure enough, a big mouse was crouched over quivering.


It turns out that the mouse was eating some poison and that the poison was beginning to take effect. I couldn't believe at the size of the mouse. It was so big!!!


This morning, I went to a seminar held by AT&T to learn how to maximize your health savings plan. It was presented by Fidelity so I felt it was mostly a message about how we should put up more money into our 401K. However, I did get the chance to learn some things. Mostly, I learned that the government wants your money no matter what type of account you put it in. Your account may be tax free, but when it comes to taking out the money from your retirement account, it will be taxed. Moreover, there are a lot of guidelines that you need to understand if you do want to take money out from that account.


You know you are old when you have to start thinking about your retirement fund.
