That's it. I finally have my retirement plan
I'm going to buy a massive amount of Apple shares, just before their new product comes out. Then sell them all 2 days after the new release. Of course, knowing my luck, they'll be some recall of the new product. There is also the question of how to get the money to buy the shares.... hmm...time for plan B.

1. Step 1: Purchase an iTimePod.
Step 2: Go back in time to 2002 and purchase as many shares of Apple as possible.

Step 3: Wait until 2010 and destroy the iTimePod prototype. You don't want people getting wise to your plan.

3. What is this retirement of which you speak?
I didn't have a job that even offered a pension until I was 30 and was routinely lowballed with salary offers in every job I've held since. I don't feel as if I'd ever be able to retire. But I hope you have better success than I.

4. The only way my husband and I can ever stop working, I'm afraid, at this rate..
would be to move to India. I consider it regularly. It's plan A, in reality.

5. The pension plan for my work group is simple
The day you retire, they give you a pine box, and ask you to fill it as quickly as possible.
