I listened to their infomercial for 1 1/2 hours on line and was goggle eyed when I was done. like a brain washing.
tonight I looked at jeffs retirement his is much greater than mine due to the fact that his employer matches his contributions to a limit. But I looked at his current statement and his portfolio has only had a 3% return, mine is 18% for the past year. The stock market is doing well right now and he should be earning a higher return than that. I need to talk to him about this.
I raised my contributions to the highest that I can go for the monthly for my roth IRA. Jeff needs to start an IRA, he only has his retirement account.
I am all worked up over this and should be in bed.
