Blowing Off Retirement Savings

Misguided Thoughts of the Future Impoverished

Since when is the IRS humorous? I guess since The Mint Blog pointed it out


It can't be...the IRS used humor to get a point across!

The Mint Blog gives their take on 10 reasons to put off saving for retirement from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Combining the word "humor" and "IRS" in the same sentence sure caught my attention.

The list uses dry wit to demonstrate the results of spending all your funds now and saving nothing for retirement. Hey, I actually know people who behave or think just like some of the listed items - scary stuff!

I like the Mint guys' commentary on each of the 10 items on the list, so give From the IRS: 10 Reasons to Put Off Saving for Retirement a read....and start saving for your retirement now.

Oh, and keep an eye on Mint.com, where some nifty new online personal finance software is being developed and will be released to the public soon. Although I'm still waiting on getting in on a beta test...
