Whee. I just finished documenting pretty much all the specialized knowledge I've had at Wooster. I am now a cog in a machine.

Got a package from Kid Sempai over at PVP forums. He's trying to raise money for some stuff, and was selling a bunch of books at low, low prices. So for a contribution I made a few weeks ago, I am now the owner of The DaVinci Code, Hellsing volumes 1 & 2, and the Rurouni Kenshin manga, volumes 1-4. Not bad. Also looked over my 401k stuff from APT, and decided since they'll match 4%, no reason not to put 3% into a good yield package with a decent amount of risk (Biotechs, mostly), and the other 1% into a more stable investment. That ought to keep a decent playing field set up, and we'll see how far it goes. I can honestly think of worse things than being an APT employee for 2-3 years, as long as I was satisfied by the contracts. And depending how the investments go, it'd be kinda cool to retire at 40 or 45 with a million or so in the bank. (Yeah, yeah, wishful thinking.)

I was going to write something else, but can't remember it.

You suck for having Hellsing when I don't.

Indeed I do, long as the girl is nice and/or tasty.

Now, come out here, and I might share?

You've probably heard this from me before, but have you put any attention into a Roth IRA? If you start it while you're young, you can look forward to having a tremendous nest-egg of 2 to 3 million dollars ready for when you retire. Age 65 is a long way from here, but it never hurts to plan ahead. Keep in mind, any earnings from a Roth should -not- be given to your children. It'll be taxed to hell. If your inheritance goes to your grandchildren, though, they'll get it with little to no tax whatsoever.

It's not been mentioned in the retirement packages I've seen so far, but that doesn't seem a bad idea. Where's that normally availible? Through my bank? Or would I need to contact an investment firm directly?

Investment firm.

Here's a link to a solid site on how to open a Roth IRA, but it's a bit finicky. Keep trying to access it.
