I just lurk here

I'm a night walker who enjoys reading, drawing, attempting to write, animals and keeping my life good. I adore science and biology and I'm a bit of a quiet nerd when it comes down to it.

    Thank you! I was worried because people say that having too much salt is a bad thing. I don't have any blood pressure problems but I'm like mostly people. Losing 10 lbs wouldn't kill me. I didn't even think that the salt would be used for flavor and as preservative. That makes a lot of sense. I eventually want to learn how to cook my own food but I'm a little stuck for now.

    Thank you! I didn't realize that the daily serving was equal to 1 teaspoon.

    Luckily, I don't like salty food so I'm happy to eventually get back to less salt food. Thanks!

    Is there less sodium in food that is home cooked?

    I'm not in WA right now but I'm planning on moving back in June. I'm also going to open a Vanguard account within the month. Thanks so much for all the great information. I really do appreciate it.

    I guess I was hoping to make some money investing in the short term but it looks as though that's just not possible. Saving for retirement is a whole different beast but I do plan start a 401k once it's offered to me and probably additional savings depending on what's going on.

    That's the answer I suspected I would get.I guess my fear is that eventually the market will crash again and 401ks will lose their value. But then again, if that happens stock values drop as well.

    @Tom Sackett. I wanted to buy some U.S. bonds but the interest rates are ridiculous. 3% over 30 years is not a good rate. But I'm setting up an IRA this week and eventually I'll have a 401k.

    Yeah, I wonder if I'll ever have quite enough money to do as you recommend. I guess that's kinda why I was interested. I have some money in a savings account but it's just sitting getting .05% interest. I wish I could find some way to make it work for me. But you're right at the same time. I can't afford at all to lose my savings. I would be screwed. And I know that I'm too poor to hire an investment broker.

    It's cool. I'm just parroting the news articles that I read that tend to use play when they talk about the market.

    Thank you for the book recommendations and links. I will check them out when I have the time and before I actually do anything with money.

    Looks pretty interesting! Once I get back to Seattle, I'll have to think about it. Thank you for the recommendation.

    Thank you. Yeah, I suspected that it was pretty risky. I hadn't heard of index funds though, perhaps I should learn more about them.
