Re: IRA ASAP!!! - 6 years ago

Quotespace-time QuoteAcer FYI, in the future you can still make individual IRA contributions even if you have an employer's 401(k). ... I know, but with both of us working now, we hit the limit. Yes, I can make IRA contributions, but it will not be tax deductible. So I might as well put it in a normal stock account, at least I could withdraw whenever I wanted. Am I missing something? If you

Re: 37 years ago today ;-( where were you when john lennon was murdered? - 6 years ago

Late at night, early morning actually, driving home from a gig. Just as I was pulling into my driveway, took out the cassette tape I was listening to and the radio came on . Lennon's music was playing and then the announcer came on, and I heard the news today(Oh Boy). Sat in my car, stunned, for over an hour listening to his music and the commentary. I wept for him and our world.
