@ J – I’m in Internal Audit. We travel the globe making sure everyone is “meeting objectives.” It’s a challenging job but rewarding because you get to know/understand a company really quickly. Plus, always a new person, place, and process to meet. I’m lucky.

I’m actually working in Bangalore, FFB. I’ve been to Delhi, Agra, and now Sri Lanka for side trips. It’s been non-stop.

Jealous of the India trip…what do you do that your company foot the bill for an international trip?
Finance changes the last two weeks: put 30% of savings into CD’s, expecting Fed to soon drop rates because of situation. And, as the Fed rate goes, so does the ING rate.
And picked my jaw off the floor, had a stiff drink, and cringed. Part of my non-401(K) stock portfolio was Washington Mutual. OWWWWWW!!!!!

Do you have room in your place? We all might be moving in with you if this keeps going like this!

Sounds like an interesting job you have. Are you in Mumbai by any chance (just curious). Hope you get a chance to enjoy it there.

It’s been quite a roller coaster these past few weeks.

I’m not going to be doing much of anything different with my money – just riding out the storm..

Enjoy India – that’s one of the places still on my “list of places to visit before I die”.

I bet India is a beautiful and interesting country. I hope you are able to take full advantage of your visit and don’t get stuck working the entire time.

You’re missing out on a very interesting week here in the US. Stay tuned – I’m sure it will be more interesting in the next few days!

As for my finances, I’m leaving everything as is for the moment. I think we’ll continue to see a lot of volatility, but I don’t want to change my 401(k) contributions right now (currently going to a target fund). Thanks for the mention.
