Lifestyle of the not rich or famous

There’s always someone who knows it all and has done it all and has no problem telling you how to handle your money, but they seem to always have a cash flow problem.

I never knew I had to have a CPA to tell me how to withdraw funds from an IRA. So what exactly is an IRA?

Maybe I should just stick to piling my money under the mattress? I’d have to buy a smaller mattress.

I tried using a big name money management firm back n the late 1990s and the stock market crash nearly wiped me out. I vowed – never again.

In fact I have had times where my checkbook couldn’t even balance, so I took a college class on Income Tax and Accounting 101. It’s one of those classes all full of numbers and made my head spin. After completing the class the instructor handed me his business card and advised me not to do my own taxes.

So back to this CPA thing, maybe I should look into taking a course in CPA 101?

Naw, I think not. Swimming should always be done in a pool and under adult supervision.

I guess I’m just not cut out to be rich or famous. – RTM
