I am a foiled plan...
To infinity, and beyond...
So I told myself that I would not really consider myself an old man until I started investing...well...I am calling myself an old man. Last night, I met with this financial advisor that my friend Aaron recommended me to, you know one of those that you name people you might think will want to do that, well, I did. I've been wanting to set up a Roth IRA acct since I took classes last year with Chris before I moved back to LA. I never got around to it because right when I wanted to start investing, I got laid off. But now, I have the opportunity to and so I jumped on it. Since my 401k hasn't yet taken effect, I figured I might as well get started on some financial plan for the future. Lots of people don't get into it because it seems like we're being sold something, but it's important, well at least I think so. Because I see how pop didn't have a retirement plan because his work didn't give him one and he just kinda worked and never thought about it, and I think to myself, I wish he had a retirement plan, so I started one for myself. It's crazy, what an adult decision that was, I still can't believe I AM one sometimes. But I guess now is the time to start preparing ourselves for the future...like retirement, and kids and stuff like that. Man, I'm scaring myself....
The cool thing about X-mas season is that most places are open later during the holidays. This is good for me because I usually don't get home from work til about 7 or 7:30, and I want to eat and maybe relax for a few minutes or something before going anywhere. Target is open til 11 during the holiday season, yippee! Cic and I went there last night to see if we could get some x-mas gifts out of the way, and although we didn't get anything except for wrapping paper and tape and stuff, it was quite convenient. And there weren't that many people there at that time, so it was actually kind of peaceful even. I know that as it comes closer to the actual holiday though, it won't be so, so it's good to take advantage of it before it becomes complete chaos. Tonight, I'm planning to hit the mall...maybe I'll find something there...dang, less than 3 1/2 weeks left...I gotta get crackin...
I can't wait to go boarding this Friday. It'll be my first time this season and a chance for me to break in my new board and bindings, and boots...if I can find some by tomorrow. It'll also be my first official day off from work since I started FT back in August...I'm excited. I love short weeks, I got in on Monday from NJ so I didn't have to come into the office and I'm taking friday off...I might as well see if I can get out early manana...woohoo!
"Let's forget about tomorrow. Let's forget about tomorrow. Let's forget about tomorrow, for tomorrow may not come...."
