Blogger Cap At Mint.com sends us a link to the IRS’s attempt to be funny, the 10 Reason To Put Off Saving For Retirement. We like this one:

Maybe I won’t live long enough to retire. Life is so uncertain. Why should I miss out on the high life now when I might not even need to have money put aside for my old age? (If married, change pronouns in this reason to the plural.)

and this one….

Taking care of me financially will provide wonderful character-building opportunities for my children. And so many chances for me to feel warm gratitude toward them.

But they’re all pretty accurate. When you’re young, time is on your side! Make your money work for you instead of buying a bunch of crap you don’t need. —MEGHANN MARCO
