Funds Requested!

Then I continue practicing for my next career which will carry me into retirement by reciting,
"Hello, welcome to Wal-Mart, may I direct you somewhere?"

Don't forget, "Would you like a sticker?"
 
Schrec:

Don't be too sure about that. If you manage to save $19.00 a day for the next 15 years you will have 1 million dollars. That does not include any interest.

I admit that I am bored, waiting and waiting for some database scripts to run.
 
How do you get 1 milliion from $19/day?

$19 X 365.25 = $6939.75
$6939.75 X 15 = 104,096.25

That's only @ 1/10. So you need to save $182.52 per day fo a million, over 15 years. Or work another 150 years at $19/day.

Besides when you are retired, are you really going to spend 60K a year?
 
MKERN:

You are correct ! my calculation was flawed. That is why the wife handles the money.
 
Bruno,
Just wishful thinking I guess.
You got me all excited.
 
Dear shrec,

Don't let ol' Rolf fool you, he has money coming out his wahzoo!

He reminds me of the kind of people my late friend Tony Gabriel used to accuse me of being, you know the type? The people who walk up the street with a Virginia ham under one arm and a loaf of bread under the other arm crying about how poor they are.

In all seriousness I'm just busting Rolf's stones. He'll hate me for saying this but I'd be a much poorer person if I couldn't count him as a friend. I'll embarass him further and say that if there is one guy you need to meet from this board, it's Rolf. No slight or slur intended to those people from the board that I have met.

You're a fellow Penn Stater schrec so I'll always have a place for you in my garage if you need one as you age, just bring your own damn beer!

Regards,
Tim Murphy :)

Stop sucking up Murphy! You're still buying the beer and you must owe Pad a keg by now! :-x
 
This thread made me laugh so much.... At 51+ I joined the club over a year ago. Got the AARP request and the fine request from the doc Rolf mentioned.. The only really good thing about turning 50 was my wife had Wyatt Deitrich build me a very nice Bamboo Fly Rod for my birthday....Then I got hooked on Bamboo, meet Rolf and the Bamboo Bunch and have had to spend more of my retirement money on other Cane rods...lol. As I have also discovered flyfishing in Florida I have now decided someday I want to move south... So as a goal I figure and can move to florida and work at Wal Mart.... Maybe in time I can move from the front part of the store handing out carts to the Sporting Goods section..... A guy can dream can't he....lol

Tim,
Thanks for the offer, fellow Penn Stater. But I already have a garage. In fact, it's my sanctum when the estrogen level gets too high in our household. So, right now, I live there. Which actually ain't too bad. :-D
 
You almost made me cry!! Could I send you a check? or is it cash only?

If you have to work in WalMart, then go to Germany, France, or any European country......... they are all socialist unionized countrys and everyone makes close to $20 / hour with 5 weeks min paid vacation and free health care and free college for your kids.

If you live in a capatilist country, then you have to be near the top to enjoy the great American life. A WalMart greeter is near the bottom!!! you would be better off to pretend you are a illegal allian and you would get free medical care, food stamps, section 8, and a block of free cheese every year........... do you like a cheeseburger? how about a cheese omelet? or just maybe some cheese with a bottle of Ripple?

God bless America.
 
Bruno; I detect senior management skills. My company just got rid of the CEO who used similar math. Lol. He did seem to count up his severance package ok.


Schrec; No sympathy from me. I have one graduating PSU this spring and two going to college next two years. I may be looking for ROLF's Eureka and a spot in the local park. (I live close to ROLF so I wonder what his back yard looks like?)
 
Tabasco:

My CEO walked away with 32 million last year. His car cost more than my house. Goldman is passing out the bonus checks today so there should be a few more millionares out there today.

Ours got 54 mil but that is actually a good investrment for the stock holders since he was burning billions, not to mention the damage to my 401K.

No problem Joe. We have a hammock in the back yard you can use if the ground gets too hard.

Wow ,after reading this post I got real depressed.I thought by 50 I would be living like a king...LOL....just kidding being 41 with 5 yes I said 5 kids in the house i know I will never do any fancy trips or anything like that but I do take advantage of every opportunity to run away for a weekend (usually with my oldest son ) and do some camping and flyfishing.It may not be fancy but I wouldn't trade it for nothing.Who knows we may try to get to the jamboree even this year,just not sure yet.

Dear Rolf,

You mean the hammock you tried to con me into sleeping in right before the tree fell on it? THAT HAMMOCK?
