I am seriously thinking of the whole retirement thing. One thing I am focusing on first is liquid assets so I can do stuff like get an apartment and maybe academic courses.

First, I need to save up money for a deposit in something. I have no idea whether money market accounts and IRAs work best. Certificates of deposits look tempting, but gah, the wait and the penalties.

(and I have a fixed retirement account, and can elect to put some of it into the company 401(K). The match is somewhat small, but if I find out minimum deposit, that might be one option.)

I also realized that I haven't updated my W4 to reflect that this is my only job. Doh! Do that tomorrow.
