Build a house out of the Legos.

I feel a sense of quiet satisfaction every time I'm able to make a deposit into my savings account, or as I like to call it, my "buying a house" account.
The final rehearsal for tonight's massive fancy big concert went well; we finished an hour early, so I am now home at the time we were meant to finish having also been to buy some new tights and a hat. I might finally be warm! Because it's Saturday my no sweets, no snacks diet is taking a day off (it has gone ok this week, although two minor blips - a cookie and a piece of cake, on two different days) so I'm having a cup of hot chocolate and a bar of Guylian before tackling another couple of hours of work. Perhaps this heap of reading is not insurmountable after all; I'm getting through it faster than I expected.

Jace,
Have you started saving for retirement? If not, for sure, some portion of that should be put into a retirement account.
Jace:
I don't have a retirement account because I've never thought that I'd be able to retire since I live and work in America. Also I figured I'd get a retirement account when I got a real job that requires a degree.
Papersatan:
Well, even if you can never retire, at least you can only have to work part-time as a senior... :)
Also, as a math man, I am sure I don't need to tell you how compound interest works. Starting earlier is better, even if it is not much per month.
Also, if your new job offers any sort of matching to contribute to a 401k and you don't take them up on it, it is like you are throwing away free money.
