Financial planner

I met with a financial planner today about a 401k but it turns out a 401k is not a thing for someone who has no savings.

So I said okay, I will save.

And talking to her convinced me that, yes, I can save. I can be a saver.

But, I told her, I don’t worry. I don’t worry about this. Isn’t that weird, that I don’t worry? Nothing’s ever gone wrong.

And she chuckled, but stopped and said, well, I am scared. I am scared for you, and you should be scared, too.

And I told her, okay, I will save, even a little bit, and I will meet the three month goal.

Oh, we set a three month goal. I should have $500 saved in three months. In a savings account, not in checking.

So there will be $500 in a savings account with a bank, and I will be here, and my financial planner will see I am capable of saving.

And then I don’t know.
