So… AT&T/SBC/Yahoo or whoever the heck runs our DSL service has been flakey at best for the last two weeks. Sorry I’ve been DOA…I mean ROI…no… what’s the anagram, er… acronym?MIA!!! Yeah. Sorry I’ve been MIA.
Erik…I have a four pager in my notebook (as in blue lined paper, not intel core dual process-whatev) on the pros and cons of Roth IRAs and 401(k)s.
In 30 words or less (ha) until the real article goes online: if your company offers a match on 401(k), sign-up and contribute enough to get the match. Then call Fidelity or Vanguard (or both -yeeee!) and open a Roth IRA account. Deposit $4000 for last year (if you’ve got the cash) before April 15. And set-up automatic investments to fund this year’s Roth IRA (monthly is good – so $400 a month).
Good.
More soon.

P.S. Yahoo has a kick ass new personal finance tab on their finance page. Check it.
