Four zero one K you say?
The other day I had a great conversation with a co-worker about the above mentioned topic. She asked what my 401K looked like and if there were any stocks that I thought were appealing, I laughed. She asked what I thought was so funny and I enlightened her on the fact that I don't have a 401K and I don't invest. I don't even have a savings account (well not true, I had to open one with my business account, however the balance is the bare minimum). She looked at me aghast and asked how could I not have one. She also expressed concerns about my financial future. I assured her that I am okay. I am not okay in the traditional sense of putting money away, but I am okay. As many of you know, I am a very in the moment kind of person. I don't invest and haven't really because I don't have regard for the future. All I really have in this life is right now. If I had a dollar for every time someone said, "but you should be putting away for the what-ifs"
