What's in YOUR piggy bank?

You don't need piggy banks, just put your wife in charge of the money side of things.......trust me.........this computer is my only joy in life :-/

That worked for me but I was very lucky. Not all women are good with money as many poor sods have found out to their cost.

The best advice would be not to get involved with them in the first place.

To coin one of Fozzers favorites, "trust me"!
I've had 3 other ladies say that, and at the end of the day, I end up taking the garbage to the curb, mowing the lawn, and worst of all is coming home from the pub, and hearing ... "We need to talk"
I got lucky, this time, with #4. I still have to do the above duties, this time I smile when I trim the grass and take the garbage to the curb.
(This should factor in to why I can't retire, at least, I am happy now)

I was doing very well, that is, until... Must stop here. SimV don't allow no political discussion. Too bad. Think of the discussions we could get into! It would be like a barfight with words. It would be such fun...

I am probably the youngest guy at working thinking about this.

If I set $5,000USD aside for the next 25-30yrs, I will retire with $1.6Millian dollars.

$5,000 a year for 30 years will be worth $150,000.

Maybe a little more with the whopping 1% interest rate most banks are offering.

I still have some bonds paying 4% and I'm thrilled to have them.

Yeah that is not just sitting in a regular bank account, that is investing it, that I need to just but that much in, and after the 25yrs, I would have $650,000, but if I do the 30yr plan, or just invest more, I will have the magic Million number. 8-)
