CAREER ADVANCEMENT

Are You Making the Most of Your New Job?

1. At your old gig, your 401k…
Was anemic. It never saw a dollar.
Had a healthy complexion. You gave just enough to get the company match.
Was fat and happy. You maxed out your contributions.

2. Having enough for retirement is …
Uncle Sam’s responsibility. Haven’t your taxed dollars earned it?
Your employer’s responsibility. You gave them the best years of your life.
ls your responsibility. In the end it’s every man for himself.

3. Do you need disability insurance?
What do you mean? I’m not disabled.
No way. I’m healthy as a horse.
Absolutely, a disability could happen to anyone.

4. Your new job comes with a big fat raise. You shout…
Another magnum of Moet! Where’s the nearest BMW dealership?
Goodbye Visa! I can finally pay off my credit card debt.
Is there a financial planner in the house? I can’t wait to make sound investments.

5. When it comes to life insurance, you have …
Hope and prayer.
The minimum. Apparently your life is cheap.
The right amount. You want things taken care of after you are gone.
