I am not saying "don't save," but I am saying, "don't kid yourself that you will get to retire." I think many of us will end up in part-time or adjuncting positions to cover our daily expenses until we can't think any more, at which time they will set us out on the street and we will die.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-29875948705097571082008-03-08T23:47:00.000-05:002008-03-08T23:47:00.000-05:00i couldn't agree more, TR, saving what little you ...i couldn't agree more, TR, saving what little you can adds up along the way. $50 a month in a Roth IRA for 30 years at an 8% annual return will get you over eighty grand. no, it's not enough to retire on, but it's an illustration of how a little goes a long way. your accountant is optimistic because the math has happier endings than the daily economic news.PiggyBankBlueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690849714922488666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-66889507914983211632008-03-08T15:36:00.000-05:002008-03-08T15:36:00.000-05:00I don't think it matters how much we save, if we d...I don't think it matters how much we save, if we don't get full-time jobs until we are 30 at the earliest, even then we make the median US salary or under, many of us work in markets where we will never even get to the point of having a house we could use as an ATM, and then the stockmarket, which is our only hope of increasing our savings, tanks. Oh, and then there are little things like working at campuses that don't reimburse any professional activity and paying for our kids to go to college. I doubt we are going to get to retire--we'll go to ground paying for the baby boomers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-31462549831784900282008-03-08T10:27:00.000-05:002008-03-08T10:27:00.000-05:00Thanks for adding us to your blogroll.

Plus, the chocolate-chip cookies at the student union are really delicious. So I mostly invest in those. There really should be a more vibrant cookie futures market. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful break.arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018561614015611821noreply@blogger.com
