Aaron and I met with some financial planners this evening. It was a bit scary and exciting all at the same time. We now officially have GOOD life insurance, Roth IRA accounts and a 401 K. Seriously, I had never heard of these things until a few weeks ago (with the exception of life insurance :). I am still a little shakey with my understanding of it all, but I do know that these are good things for us to have and are good things to get started now at a young age.
It is so exciting for me to think that we are putting away money for when we are retired! I can't wait to see Aaron when we are 60 and have kids and grandkids and all this money to spend because we were so smart and started saving early :)
But it is a bit depressing that they told me I could retire in 2042! Doesn't that sound like a VERY long time from now?!
Oh well, here is to being a grown up!
