Yesterday I was at work and a girl I used to know came to
see the show. She was my coach in high
school. And I realized that the last
time I saw her was 12 years ago… And then I thought… damn I’m a real life adult
now. When the hell did that happen?
This also coinsides with the fact that I joined the company’s
401k this week and got a real life financial advisor.
Both of these things are things that I have been meaning to
do for a while now but just got around to doing it this week. I don’t know how
long I will be with the company but it makes sense to go ahead and join the
401k. It’s basically free money… And
then as far as the advisor…. I just don’t know what to do with finiances.
I work for a job that pays me well. And I am debt free. Whoo hoo that in itself I am thankful
for. But what am I supposed to do? I know that it shouldn’t be sitting in a
savings account. So I thought I would do
the responsible thing and talk to someone who can help me. So here I am setting up an IRA and choosing
investment options…. And bleh it’s so important and so boring at the same time.
In other news I leave for Berlin in 13 days! Which is totally on the other side of this
whole adult coin! Because I am going to
Berlin to have a good time, take some photos, be in some photos, and get a
tattoo. So while on one hand I am putting on my
serious glasses and signing IRA paperwork… on the other hand I am putting pink
and purple in my hair and getting all funky to go and take some amazing
pictures with a friend who is working in Berlin and who chose me (honored!) to
model some of her jewlrey. Too fun! So I guess… life isn’t soooo serious. I just know that in the future I will
probably have a job that pays much less than my current job so I should
probably do what I can to have my money work for me both now and then… ya know?
And speaking of holidays…. I am going on leave in 60 days. And I am headed back for another Asia
trip! Many fun things are bound to
happen including photos taken on top of buildings, and on top of boats, crazy
space age makeup, and general Hong Kong nonsense…. And in the middle of all of
that I am planning a trip to Burma! More
to come on this… I am making the plans now and trying to map out exactly what I
am doing. But I am excited.
The moral of the story is that…. I’m busy. But its good.
And I miss you guys!
Xoxo
