401K

I am 26 years old. A Regan baby- 1983.

Lover of foul words, snarky talk, sarcasm and most things many people deem inappropriate.

I like to have fun. Love to listen to music, drink a beer and other cocktails here and there.

I am… pretty smart if I may say so myself. Cum Laude college grad- could’ve done better, I’m sure, but I am a procrastinator and get bored really easy.

I know a lot. There are many things I don’t know.

I spell really well. But word definitions? I ask my husband and my father for those ’cause they are really good at those things.

I am a great teacher, but I hate math. I don’t care if it is first grade Math or calculus (which I never took).
Fact: I managed to get through college without taking one math class or English class. How? Well before The Man changed the rules regarding required classes, I was able to take a “writing intensive” Freshman seminar and substitute that for English and two classes that weren’t math, but involved some- Psychological Statistics (which I got a B in) and Intro To Computing (another B).

I don’t know what a 401K is. I know that when I got my second teaching Gig, the “financial advisors” from the school told me “if you put $500, we’ll match it” and something about stocks, mutual funds and real estate- retirement blah blah blah…. all of that kind of talk makes my head hurt.

So I put the $500 in, now it’s a couple thousand dollars and I’m jobless. I want my couple thousand dollars.

I’ll end this briefly by saying this:

The amount of time it takes to kill my dreams by telling me that I will have to give my Uncle Sam 20% and the state that selected a body builder/actor who doesn’t have a very American English accent to be their governor 10%? About five minutes on the phone.

Bye-Bye tattoo that I was spontaneously gonna go charge on my credit card today cause I thought I’d have money after the fact.

Fuckin 401K. You just bitch slapped me.

  • IN-teresting. You are two years older than I am. (1985 baby.) And I feel the same way about math.

    AND my 401K! I spent a couple good years working for good ‘ole Warren Buffet and want my cash, darn it! (Okay, so it was for one of his companies and not him directly. But he came in the office once wearing a Hawaiian shirt, handing out ice cream bars, and acting like the crazy uncle the family expects to go off on some monologue rant at Thanksgiving dinner.) In a way though, I can see WHY they tax it so heavily… I mean, it was designed for retirement and all.

    Girl this was really intresting. I am glad to hear you say that with all your smarts, you still don’t know everything. Not many people will admit that they don’t know everything. Like I always say, “we are never too old to learn” Enjoy your tat.
