Interests:The biology of aging, the biology of healing, nanotechnology, microarrays, biological tecniques, cloning, and computational biology Linux, GNU, HURD, Mach, the GPL and BSD licenses, the Free Software Foundation, and the Electronic Freedom Frontier. Classical music, particularly Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi, Wagner, Mussorgsky, Prokofiev, and Smetana. The scores of John Williams. Some good old soul, like Wilson Pickett (the best ever, imo). Some real funk, like Morris Day (not that junk by Prince). Some modern pop-buble-gum music, like Spears, Aguilera, Pink, and Shakira. Science fiction, particularly Michael Crichton. Also some fantasy, like The Mists of Avalon. Philosophy, politics, and economics. Plato/Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Mill, Kant, Rawls, Rosseau were interesting. Libertarian thought, however, has been the driving force of all progress throughout history, and it's contrary the driving force of human misery. Ludwig Von Mises and Murray Rothbard weer particularly brilliant economists, debunking the non-sense of our ever-increasing communist government. Of course, no-one says "we're heading towards communism". They mask it in such euphemisms as "taxes", "tarrifs", "license fees", "social security", and so-on and so-forth. Among politicians, both of the parties and almost all of the major names support nothing other than the unrelenting march towards communism, throwing all thoughts of the free-market down the Orwellian memory-hole. Rachel Mills, however, is interesting. Investing and investors. Buffet, Lynch, Fisher, and Graham in particular.

Happy New Years eve, everyone. Anyone have any financial resolutions they wish to share, general or specific to Roth's?

My financial New Year's resolutions:

1. Contribute $14,000 to my 403(b), via renewing my salary deductions to max out contribs.

2. Contribute $4,000 to Roth IRA, using $154 biweekly contributions.

3. Of money left over after contributing to 403(b) and Roth IRA, save at least half of it.

4. I keep track of my finances using GnuCash in a double-entry fashion; right now, the accounting equation isn't balancing out, so I must have made a mistake at some point. Thus, my modest goal is to correct this discrepancy.

The Motley Fool has a nice set of Retirement Resolutions.
