Put your savings into an S&P 500 fund and keep adding to it.

I would be saying something like be sure that hatch is dogged tight before we submerge.

Get married? Are you out of your Fin mind?

Do it all!

Hold out for jobs with 401k plans. Save 10% of your income and let the chips fall where they may.

I switching to a zinc based sunscreen for starting this ski season. Less nasty chemicals in them.
