Ron 10 #1 March 24, 2004 Well I just got info from my 2003 retirement fund. Its up for the last year...And doing I think pretty well. 37.75% return. My Job gave me a raise which is nice since I'm topped out and they didn't have to. But they had a good year as well. I just bumbed my Retirement account up another 2% to 12% (I know I need more, but I'm 31 and like toys, and Im saving for a house). Things are turning up. What every the current administration is doing...I hope it keeps up."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean, like, borrowing record amounts to create record debt for our children and their children?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Ron 10 #3 March 24, 2004 QuoteYou mean, like, borrowing record amounts to create record debt for our children and their children? Nice Bait john...But I'm not biting. Besides I told you I was done with the political BS on here. Social Security is screwed...And Thats not Bushes fault. The economy is better....Bush's doing or not, it IS. This is a thread to say I'm happy things are turning up...To point out the FACT the economy is turning up, and how I am glad about it...And how I am taking steps to ensure MY future by being financially responsible...which more folks should do. Like I said...Nice bait...But just keep on trolling Doc."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean, like, borrowing record amounts to create record debt for our children and their children? Add this: I am seeing more unemployed people coming to my school for re-education after being downsized in the last 4 months than I saw in the previous 4. Also, most college educated individuals that I know have lost more jobs than I care to count - most since 2000 are now earning less as well. But hey, those tax cuts are amazing. Since they are making less means they can save less for retirement - but they can always look forward to Social Security to help them out....._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

mjosparky 4 #5 March 26, 2004 Ron, With some people you could post about how beautiful the blue sky is and they will try to piss on your parade. It must be something in their genes. Way to go on your retirement fund. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
