2007 is ending and i did not blog !!
Phew ,,, another year on this planet gone by .... And this traveller is already tired..
Anyways, I have recently turned pretty serious about my finances ... Technology has seemingly lost its charm now .. or may be I am having a mid-life crisis with technology. I think for an average joe like me it does not really matter whether I like coding or not ... my kind is better off loving the paychecks that come in periodically.
I am 28 and only now I realise how stupid I have been about not caring for the 401(K) that my company offered me. I have never bothered about wealth management. And that sucks.
Anyways, I hope to change all that pretty soon.
Talking of investments, let me warn about E*trade. No, its not about their recent sub-prime mortgage problems and stuff like that. I know E*trade is a safe bet and the company is not going away anytime soon. I opened a CD account on Saturday last. Then a savings account on Monday. Its been 4 days and yet I do not see those accounts in my E*trade login.
Thats sucks as I wanted to start saving immediately. Then I call them and they cancel those 2 accounts and create 2 new ones and still after 2 days I dont see them in my login.
Why are some companies so bull-headed that they cant improve thier services even when they are in dire straights???
I thought E*trade would pull up its sock after what its going through ... obviously this company is not going to learn anything anytime soon....
