My retirement check




So...what I'm taking that you should learn from this is to start your retirement savings early so that when you are my age you'll be ready to retire.

Can you believe that someone would print out a check for .03 cents and then spend .45 cents to mail it out?

Boy, I wonder what I can buy with this. If I really do invest it----it might be worth .04 cents when I retire.

Funny isn't it? I rolled my retirement account from EIRMC into my ISU account and then get this check 2 years later as the account really hadn't closed and I was getting tired of the monthly statement.

Then they asked me if I wanted to pay the early penalty for withdrawal and if I wanted taxes withdrawn from the check. Sometimes I wonder where the brains are at.

I really have to say that is funny. I want to see the bank tellers reaction when you try to cash it...

I definitely would frame this check. But then, you need to cash it so you can pay tithing on the check!
