Welcome back from the Thanksgiving holiday. I recently updated my Twitter page thanks to Pete from Logos for Websites. Check it out:
In case you don’t know, Twitter is a micro-blogging platform that I use to update my followers on unique money saving opportunities, finance-related news, updates to ptmoney.com, and random personal stuff. Basically anything too small or timely that won’t fit well into a full post.
I know. I know. There’s a new social web service coming out every week. But I think Twitter has staying power. Thus, the nice, new page with my ugly mug on it. Have a twitter account? Leave it in the comments below and I’ll follow you.

Thank you for sharing useful information.1. The earlier you start saving for retirement, the less you have to save overall because your money has more time to grow. Even small amounts of money you save in a Roth IRA now will work much harder for you and grow larger than large amounts of money you invest later in life. This is a GREAT time to start a sizeable nest egg with a smaller amount of money.
2. It will get you in the habit of saving and “paying yourself first”. Most people are lucky to learn this by their 40’s…which is when many buckle down to save for retirement and have to save a huge portion of their income just to be able to retire at all.
