Investing for your retirment....

[O]

;D

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth

$49.00.
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

With Enron,

you would have had

$16.50

left of the original $1,000.00.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

With WorldCom,

you would have had less than

$5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00

worth of Beer one year ago,

drank all the beer,

then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND,
you would have had

$214.00.

Based on the above,

current investment advice is to

drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg Plan

put 50 dollars in a account every week from age age 18 till 65 and you will have a very large retirement. very large, im talkin, house on the beach,boat on your dock, million dollar home.

Putting $3,000($8.22 a day :o) away a year for 5 years starting at age 15 in a 10% annual return will give you over 1.6m at age 65 at only a 15k original investment. Just imagine if you continued that with $25-$50 week after you turned 20.

I was always told to put money away when I was 14-15, but no one ever broke it down like that. When I figured this out recently I wish someone had, I wouldve put some savings away for retirement.
