What a Fricken Day…
Posted by jjbarde on September 8, 2006
The thing that most defined my day today was my 50 mile bike ride home that was supposed to be 35 miles. I thought Id stay of the bike trails that I normally use, and go street only because I was nervous about my rear tube. I had patched it before my ride because I was out of tubes. Anyway that was awesome. This morning for breakfast I made a Salmon Frittata and it kicked ass, except I cut the tomatoes too thick and I ended up taking a few off. And for dinner I made Mole Chicken, which doesn’t rate as high on my Kick Ass scale but it was still pretty good. I got both recipes from the Whole Foods website. I used the Google Calendar today, and that worked out really well. I listed everything important that I wanted to do today, and I figured if I got it all done my reward would be to do whatever the hell I wanted. That’s the only part that got screwed up. It turned out that I used all the free time I would have had aimlessly riding my bike around lost. At least I got a good workout. Also, I started searching for some blogs today just for the sake of commenting on some people posts. I intended to focused on blogs that I noticed didn’t have many comments, and in the process I found a few really cool posts. I gotta share this one with you… Do you even exist? Well I suppose time will tell. So here’s one of the posts I particularly like: Asset Allocation in 30 Minutes a Year by simplelight. Anyway Have a good one.

Wow, I could never bike 35 miles, let alone 50. I’m too lazy.
Anyways, thanks for reading my blog/post. Also, thanks for sharing the post by simplelight. It is right on the money.
About your questions, I think I need to clarify some things. I’m 21, and just graduated from college this June. I just received my first official “full-time-job” pay check in July. So, my retirement saving is really in its infancy. I’ve only have about $2000 in my 401k and nothing in my Roth IRA yet. I just opened a Fidelity Roth IRA account since my company’s 401k is there too. I am planning on contributing to this Roth account as soon as possible, and invest in a variety of low/zero management fee mutual funds. Other background info you’d might like to know… I’m saving about 40-60% of my income right now, mainly because I do not have any major expenses. I’m living in my parent’s house and drive my dad’s “hand-me-down” Camry.
So yeah, that’s about it, sorry if my investing experience isn’t so interesting. Thanks for reading my blog.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said, “Look mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!”
