Great expectations
I made the mistake of looking at my IRA portfolio yesterday.
Let’s start by admitting that I was not the most financially savvy individual. I was well into adulthood before I got rid of credit card debt and started putting money into a savings account. While people my age were putting down their first payment on an apartment, I was buying a copy of “Money for Dummies” and schooling myself on compound interest. I even forced myself to watch Suze Orman on Oprah. This was it, I thought. I was going to be responsible and save.
