Little did I know the University of California opened a retirement investment account for me while I was working in their research labs. A letter about it came in the mailbox, asking me what I’d like to do with the leftover account balance. I decided to roll it over to a Roth IRA (individual retirement arrangement in the U.S.).
It’s like finding surprise money inside some sofa cushions or in the back pocket of my old pants, except this time I can’t touch it until I’m 62 years old.

Will the world still be around by then? I hope so! And will I still be around? I hope so, too.
(even if I turn bald, har har — although that’ll probably be the least of my worries by then)
