tigertoyI just received my monthly 401(k) summary for October.
If it actually performed like this every month, I could actually look forward to a comfortable retirement in 20 years with only the 401(k), or to being rich beyond my personal dreams of avarice (not to say I couldn't find uses for so much money -- just that I couldn't imagine speinding it on my own self indulgence) in 30 years. Ain't compound interest grand?
I just wish I felt that it was likely enough that I'll ever see a real retirement that I wasn't being stupid to be putting this money away in a sock I can't break into for 19 years minimum.
